Presso la Fondazione Piccolo esiste, forse, il più antico cimitero di cani e gatti, costruito per volere dei nobili fratelli e rispondente per altro agli interessi esoterici della famiglia. Un cimitero creato in modo da ricordare ma anche di accompagnare con affetto il piccolo altro sé verso mete ignote. Questo quale testimonianza della loro credenza in un animismo che metteva in relazione, in una dimensione sovrasensibile, viventi e defunti.
At the Piccolo Foundation there is, perhaps, the oldest cemetery for dogs and cats, built at the behest of the noble brothers and responding to the esoteric interests of the family. A cemetery created in such a way as to remember but also to accompany with affection the little other self towards unknown destinations. This is a testimony to their belief in an animism that related the living and the deceased in a supersensible dimension.
