Honouring Piero

On August 28th, the one hour film The Matrimandir: Honouring Piero Cinconeci (Part 1) was shown in Cinema Paradiso. The film is about Piero’s work for the Matrimandir which, say the film makers, would never have been built without his quiet and unceasing efforts, day after day, for twenty five years. “Every morning, he would come with the drawings and the calculations he had made at night, without any computer or electronic device. He was there from the excavation till the installing of the crystal globe in the Chamber. This beautiful Inner Chamber we owe to him.”

The film is now available online and can be seen at
