Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno Discovery
Visit the Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno, an open-air museum and a masterpiece of the city of Genoa since its opening in 1851. Its rich and diverse vegetation, open-air tombs, and those enclosed within the neoclassical porticos make it a rare historic treasure as well as a place of collective and personal memory.
Walk through the historic porticos and nearby open areas as you observe some of the cemetery's most significant tombs, such as the famous "peanut vendor," Caterina Campodonico, the gorgeous Oneto Angel by Monteverde, and the tomb of Mary Constance Lloyd, Oscar Wilde's wife.
Explore the beautiful statues and learn about the importance of the cemetery as a cultural, historic, and social phenomenon in Genoa with your Italian tour guide.
Visit the Catholic and Protestant areas and, except on Saturdays, also the Jewish section.
