November 2, 2024 “Cemeteries tell their stories”

On the occasion of the Commemoration of the deceased, the Italian cemeteries that are members of the Technical Table for Cultural and Tourist Enhancement of SEFIT Utilitalia have once again highlighted the important educational function their cemeteries play in preserving history, values, art, and the legacy of key figures from a particular era in our society.

Sometimes, they are defined as open-air museums due to the architecture and art forms they contain, such as busts, statues, epigraphs honoring heroes of the past, and more frequently than in today's cities, also celebrating ladies, women, and heroines who, through their courage, kindness, or philanthropy, show us the value of looking forward by reading the signs of the past, preserved for us in cemeteries.

For this special occasion, an interactive poster entitled “Cemeteries tell their stories” is published on the website www.Sefit.org, consisting of a series of buttons that launch visual content with the intention of presenting the following cemeteries: Monumental of Trento, Verano of Rome, Staglieno of Genoa, Monumental of Milan, Certosa of Bologna, Monumental of Turin, Certosa of Ferrara, Monumental of Andria and Mantua.

Here is the link to the interactive poster.
