Best places: Cemeteries in Italy

👍👍 This Church Museum of Santa Luciella ai Librai is one of the historic churches of Naples. It is located in the street of the same name, near the church of Saints Philip and James and right behind the church of San Gregorio Armeno. It has been closed to worship since the 1980s but was reopened on 5...

Walled island cemetery built in the early 1800s, with the tombs of Ezra Pound & Igor Stravinsky.

👍👍 Cimitero comunale di Alessano dove è sepolto Don Tonino, fatto venerabile da Papa Francesco, personale cordiale e gentile

👍 Beautiful walk, from Prato Santa Lucia to Figline di Prato. Woods, paths and sweeping views from the windy summit where the mausoleum stands, which is only a point of arrival, certainly not a destination.

😐 Se la commemorazione dei defunti durasse tutto l’anno, il cimitero sarebbe un bellissimo giardino, ben curato e colorato. Peccato che alcune tombe storiche non siano curate a dovere.

👍👍 Totally gorgeous place it terms of atmosphere, beautiful tomb architecture, including very modern constructions, and peacefullness. A great number of beautiful statues and compositions with deep meaning. I recommend for admitting to get the piece of mind and aestetics.

👍👍 A place of peace just outside the city center. Completed at the end of the 19th century and designed by Holzner from Trieste, it is a wonderful example of eclecticism that varies from neo-Romanesque to neo-Gothic. It houses funeral monuments of mayors, senators and illustrious people from Padua, suc...

Tombs & charnel houses on a cave-pitted limestone hill, with mausoleum paintings by Filippo Figari.

👍 I found the church of San Cristoforo alla Certosa closed for restoration and also various parts of the cemetery, however the place is very suggestive. Originally the place was a Certosa which later became a barracks and finally a cemetery. The funeral monument of Borso d'Este and the tombs of more...

👍 Un cimitero..non da dare punteggi. Le 4 stelle sono per la gentilezza dei custodi

👍 Con la nuova gestione le cose sono migliorate. Un pochino di attenzione ai furti, che si sono risolti già abbastanza. Per il resto tutto bene. All'ingresso vi sono 3 fiorai con una vasta scelta di fiori, statuine, piantine ecc.

👍👍 Attualmente dopo la nuova gestione sembra essere effettivamente cambiato tutto. Tutto molto più pulito e ordinato. Grazie alla ditta e al comune di Matino che ne ha dato l'opportunità di gestirlo.

👍👍 Anche quest'anno io e mia moglie abbiamo portato una pianta sulla tomba di Renata Fonte, grazie a lei e al suo sacrificio da anni godiamo del paesaggio della riserva di Porto Selvaggio. Grazie

👍 The Austro-Hungarian cemetery of Brunico is a war cemetery located a few steps from the center of Brunico. The cemetery is held in consideration by citizens and visitors as an example of tolerance and respect towards the dead of other peoples (Russians , Germans and Serbs) and other religions (Catho...

👍👍 Oddly enough, I visit cemeteries very often in my travels. So we were delighted to come across this wonderful place in Rome. Just next to our hotel. Incredible, ancient sculptures, an atmosphere of peace and complete silence. We were calm and easy. Family crypts and columbariums were looked at with...
