Aldo Rossi，一个因其理论、建筑和绘画而享誉国际的人，是他那个时代最杰出的建筑师之一。他的愿望是创造出反映他的社会观点和理论的建筑，这反映在他的大部分甚至所有的建筑中，但在San Cataldo公墓中尤为明显。

Aldo Rossi, a man appreciated internationally for his theories, architecture and drawings, was one of the most prominent architects of his time. His desire to create buildings that reflected his social perspective and theories was reflected in most if not all of his buildings, but it was particularly evident in the San Cataldo Cemetery.

Aldo的墓地是由建筑师Cesare Costa在1858年至1876年间建造的一座古代公墓，其中有大量的手工雕刻和镌刻的雕像和墓碑。Aldo建造的墓地是所有这些“死者之家”的形象的类比路线。

The grounds on which Aldo's cemetery was built was first the home of an ancient cemetery by architect Cesare Costa carried out from 1858 to 1876, containing a vast amount of hand carved and engraved statues and tombstones. The cemetery built by Aldo is an analogical route through all of these images of the "house of the dead."

他相信类型学的代表性，对过去的翻译，这是他在1966年的《城市建筑》一书中提出的基本理论。他融合了Costa 和19世纪犹太墓地的理念，在1972年与Gianni Braghieri的比赛中一起设计了他的墓地，并赢得了比赛。

He believed in representation of typologies, translations of the past, which were basic theories argued in his book "The Architecture of the City" in 1966. He fused ideas from the Costa and Jewish cemeteries of the 19th century to design his cemetery for a competition with Gianni Braghieri in 1972, winning the competition.

该方案在1976年重新设计，然后在1978年开始施工，尽管就目前而言，这座鲜艳的橙色建筑只是按照建筑师最初的设计意图完成了一部分。在设计和建造公墓之前发生了一件重要的事情；Rossi遭遇了一场可怕的车祸，他在医院住了很长一段时间。在他住院期间，他开始将自己的身体结构理论化，认为是一系列的骨折，必须重新拼接。

The scheme was reworked in 1976 before construction could begin in 1978, although as it stands, the vivid orange colored building is only partially completed as per the initial intentions of the architect. An important event occurred prior to the design and construction of the cemetery; Rossi was in a terrible automobile accident and he was then hospitalized for a long period of time. During his hospitalization, he began to theorize about the structure of his body as a series of fractures that had to be put together again.

这句话在他的作品中也有体现，建筑中的碎片问题非常重要，因为可能只有废墟才能完全表达这一个事实……他在想一个整体，或者说是一个系统，完全是由碎片重新组装而成的。

This phrase is also reflected in his work, the question of debris in buildings is very important, because perhaps only ruins can fully express this fact... He was thinking of a whole, or a system, completely reassembled from pieces.

他使用了类似于在Costa 公墓发现的边界墙来定义一个轴线，并将矩形分解为一系列的区域。他的骨灰盒立方体是对墓地作为死者的房子的一种评论，同时也与犹太墓地的位置和围合结构的比例相联系。

He uses a bounding wall similar to the one found in the Costa Cemetery to define an axis and break down the rectangle into a series of zones. He's ossuary cube is a commentary on the cemetery as a house of the dead, as well as being tied to the Jewish cemetery in positioning and proportion of enclosing structure to void.
