The Church of the Immaculate Mary in Longarone, designed by Giovanni Michelucci, is an Organic and Modernist sacred building that serves as a memorial to the 1963 Vajont Dam disaster. Its flowing forms and expressive use of concrete embody Michelucci's belief in architecture as a living, almost geological presence.
