Cimitero di Staglieno

North of the Piazza della Vittoria, up the Bisagno valley, is the beautifully situated Campo Santo or Cimitero di Staglieno, one of the most famous cemeteries in Italy. In the lower arcades are numerous monuments, richly decorated and often overloaded with ornament. Steps lead to the upper arcades, the central feature of which is a domed rotunda. Above this, in the Boschetto dei Mille, is the tomb of Giuseppe Mazzini.
