"Cápsula Mundi"

"Capsula Mundi" es un proyecto creado con la idea de promover los cementerios "verdes". Ataudes simulando un huevo en los que los difuntos son posicionados en forma fetal y un árbol es sembrado en la parte superior. Se pretende así crear bosques sagrados.

It’s the first Italian project created to promote the realization of green cemeteries in Italy.
Capsula Mundi is a container with an old perfect shape, just like an egg, made with modern material -starch plastic- in which the dead body is put in a fetal position. Capsula Mundi is planted like a seed in the soil, and on a tree is planted on top of it. The tree is chosen when the person is alive, relatives and friends look after it when death occurs. A cemetery will no longer be full of tombstones and will become a sacred forest.
