From this documentation, we can deduce that the place should have assumed the appearance of a real monumental cemetery, while the achievements were then always limited to enlargement and rearrangement of the burial areas. In the area of the Main Chapel, there is a series of tombstones decorated with tiles with the cross in natural stoneware and placed on dark green ceramic panels. In the former chapel on the left, the sepulchre of Pio Chini is highlighted by a beautiful garland in stoneware and decorated with small polychrome ceramic reliefs. <\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76808\" src=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-partic-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"994\" height=\"596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-partic-3.jpeg 994w, https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-partic-3-300x180.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-partic-3-768x460.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76809\" src=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/misericordia-cimitero-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"595\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/misericordia-cimitero-2.jpeg 595w, https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/misericordia-cimitero-2-300x188.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76810\" src=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-partic-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-partic-2.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-partic-2-300x193.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-partic-2-768x494.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76811\" src=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-particolare-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"767\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-particolare-3.jpeg 767w, https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-particolare-3-300x226.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-76812\" src=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-particolare-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"731\" height=\"966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-particolare-2.jpeg 731w, https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cimitero-misericordia-particolare-2-227x300.jpeg 227w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 731px) 100vw, 731px\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"en\">The work of the\u00a0Fornaciis also testified in the two large facing chapels dedicated to the Holy Cross and the Fallen as well as in the chapels, spaced at regular intervals along the boundary wall in 1929 and belonging to families of the town (Borelli, Toccafondi, Monti, Maestrini). The external decoration, ceramic finishes of the frames, friezes, pediments, and the furnishings, windows, tiles, columns, were in fact produced by the manufacture in Borgo San Lorenzo; it happened under the artistic direction of Tito Chini, who probably made use of the collaboration of his uncle Pietro Chini for the pictorial decorations. The design is mainly geometric and often focuses on strong colour contrasts.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a9 Il Filo \u2013 Idee e Notizie dal Mugello<\/span><\/i><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 The current appearance of the Cemetery of Mercy is the result of changes that occurred in the first thirty years of the 1900s; above all,\u00a0 we remember those described<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"page-custom.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5062],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76805","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-liberty-itineraries"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76805"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76805"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76805\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":88581,"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76805\/revisions\/88581"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cultura.ilfilo.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
