The tomb of Liliana Crociati de Szaszak is a tomb in La Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Argentina, known for its unusual design.
26-year-old Liliana Crociati de Szaszak (1944–1970) was in Innsbruck, Austria on 26 February 1970, when her hotel was struck by an avalanche, killing her.[1][2] Her tomb was designed by her mother in the Neo-Gothic style, in sharp contrast to the other tombs in the cemetery.[3] Adjacent to the tomb stands a dais adorned with a plaque containing an Italian-language poem by her father, and topped by a life-size green bronze statue of Crociati de Szaszak in her wedding dress,[4] by sculptor Wíeredovol Viladrich.[5][6][2] Following the death of Crociati's dog Sabú, a bronze statue of the dog, also by Viladrich,[6] was added, with Crociati's hand resting on the dog's head.[1][2][7]
