Carlo Scarpa (June 2, 1906-November 28, 1978) is one of the most controversial and underappreciated architects of the 20th century. He was not permitted to practice architecture because of his refusal to sit the pro forma professional exam administrated by the Italian Government after World War II. That's why those who worked with him, his clients, associates, craftspersons, called him "Professor", rather than "architect". He worked only associating with an architect.

ARCHITECTURE
The Italian architect Carlo Scarpa is today recognized as one of the most inspiring and innovative museum and exhibition architects of the 20th century. Scarpa is best known for his instinctive approach to materials, combining time-honored crafts with modern manufacturing processes. Egle Trincanato, the President of the Fondazione Querini Stampalia for whom Scarpa renovated a Venetian palace in 1963, described how "above all, he was exceptionally skillful in knowing how to combine a base material with a precious one".

Brion Tomb
Scarpa did not confine himself to Venice, however. Indeed, perhaps his most visited and famous work was the last he completed in his lifetime-the Brion Cemetery at San Vito D'Altivole, a small village not far from the Dolomite Mountains. This was the birthplace of Giuseppe Brion, founder of the prestigious Brionvega electronics company, who Scarpa admired as a man of the people, who had "started from the bottom", as well as for the design quality of his products, many of which are museum pieces today.
