Digitally enhanced photograph of a sculptured angel of 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.
