Monumental Cemetery of Milan
Cimitero Monumentale
A cemetery like an open-air sculpture museum, where the eclectic Famedio hall and many exquisite family tomb sculptures are worth a close look.
The Monumental Cemetery opened in 1866. Its entrance is the Famedio, a hall of notable people faced in black-and-white striped marble, which holds the tombs of Milanese figures including the writer Alessandro Manzoni. Over a thousand family tombs in the grounds are decorated with marble and bronze sculptures in styles ranging from Neoclassical and Liberty to Modernist. The bronze group 'The Last Supper' on the Campari family tomb is especially famous. Entry is free, and you can pick up a map at the entrance or join a guided tour. The cemetery is closed on Mondays. Please keep a respectful, quiet manner. Take metro M5 or the tram and get off at Monumentale.
