A new kind of tourism is catching on in recent years: visiting Monumental Cemeteries, ancient burial grounds where time is suspended and one breathes tranquility, silence and peace.

Italy, being a country of art and history par excellence, offers Monumental Cemeteries worth visiting, in which it is possible to admire important funerary sculptures, tombs and noble chapels or humble and anonymous tombstones, where prominent people who have made history rest.
