Designed by the architect Carlo Maciachini and opened in 1866, the Monumental Cemetery of Milan is considered one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world.
The cemetery has a wide range of contemporary and classical Italian sculptures, Greek temples, elaborate obelisks, and other original works, such as a scaled-down version of the Trajan’s Column.
The Monumental Cemetery of Milan is considered an extraordinary open-air museum that records the city’s historical events and the lives of its leading citizens.
Some of the individuals interred in the cemetery include:
I want to thank my cousin Daniela who lives in Milan, Italy, for giving me a tour of the cemetery. I would not have been able to capture the images in the short timeframe without her extensive knowledge of the cemetery grounds.
