Mantua's Monumental Cemetery

Small tombs, humble tombs, larger burials, calm and imposing monuments, memories from the past: around the tree that was once the centre of the cemetery, a series of different artefacts are gathered, erected by families from different social classes, made similar by a common artistic taste, the shared colour of the materials and by the same desire to remember and cherish loved ones, between marble aediculae, silent statues and sudden flights of sentiment.
