About this cemetery
The Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno is the main burial place of Genoa, set on a hillside in the Staglieno district. It was designed in 1835 by architect Carlo Barabino and, after his death, completed by Giovanni Battista Resasco. It is known for its sculpted monuments and tree-lined avenues and is often described as an open-air museum. To learn more, visit staglieno.comune.genova.it.
