The Belle Epoque in one of Italy’s most beautiful cemeteries

Discover the Italian way of commemorating the dead through fascinating funerary architecture of the CIMITERO MONUMENTALE of TURIN, one of Italy’s most beautiful cemeteries .

Offering a rare slice of calm, whilst appreciating history and culture, there are beautiful crypts dotted along tree-lined paths with Superga’s green hill topped by a baroque Basilica as a background.

There are no international icons buried here, but there’s a touch of the romantic about this cemetery, so rich in enchanting, art nouveau statues. A fine example of Funerary Art.

An expert, English-speaking guide will tell you the stories buried beneath your feet, so you’ll get a glimpse of the habits and the way of living of the dynamic bourgeoisie of a Northern Italian city at the Belle Epoque.
