Mario Cucinella, winner of the Southern Italy section
For the church of S. Maria Goretti in Mormanno (Cassano all’Jonio – Cosenza) Cucinella has designed a solitary, unique and unrepeatable work, in which the entrance portal and the cross become essential elements inspired by the curves of Baroque architecture.
