Elysium Memorial

The Elysium is a hall of fame that honors laudable and distinguished people in Malernian history – "politicians, sovereigns, scientists and artists of the Island; thus the celebrities honored are drawn exclusively from Malerno. The hall is an organic design ressembling a skull built on the mountains of Novaesium

Elysium or the Elysian Fields (Ancient Greek: Ἠλύσιον πεδίον, Ēlýsion pedíon) is a conception of the afterlife that developed over time and was maintained by some Greek religious and philosophical sects and cults. Initially separate from the realm of Hades, admission was reserved for mortals related to the gods and other heroes. Later, it expanded to include those chosen by the gods, the righteous, and the heroic, where they would remain after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulging in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.

Originally planned by the architect and philosopher Leonida Docilus in 1853 it was eventually built in 1932 by one of his former pupils, Giovanni Alberti

=Design=

Giovanni Alberti's architecture is characterized by a liberation by using concrete to achieve sculptural shapes on an architectural scale. The use of concrete to achieve organically expressive forms was an innovation for the times; in both buildings, Alberti sought to create forms that were spiritually expressive and could transcend life and death.The radical design was embodiment of Romantic principles applied to design

Inside are the bodies of the honored Malernians, each one having his own cubbiculum, a mortuary room with a marble statue of the figure
