Description
Digitally enhanced photograph of a sculptured angel in the Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno. It is an extensive cemetery located on a hillside in the district of Staglieno of Genoa, Liguria, Italy. It is famous for its incredible and beautiful monumental sculptures. Covering an area of more than a square kilometre, it is one of the largest cemeteries in Europe. The design of the cemetery dates back to Napoleon's Edict of Saint-Cloud from 1804, when he forbade burials in churches and towns. Over time there were several extensions and the cemetery now includes sections for an English cemetery, a Protestant one and a Jewish one. At the time Genoa was a major center of learning within Italy and attracted reformists and an affluent bourgeoisie. Wishing to place long-lasting memorials to remember their work and moral accomplishments, they developed a tradition of funereal sculpture, particularly realistic works, to be placed with their tombs.
