Milan’s Monumental Cemetery (discovering the unexpected)

Milan’s Monumental Cemetery, also called simply “Monumental,” is one of the city’s most unknown places. Tourists visit the main places, but they do not know that there is a place where art and peace coexist.

Just by looking at the Cemetery from the outside, you can admire this colossal place, but once inside, peace, silence and tranquility reign supreme. Those who imagine this place as a sad place are mistaken, because it comes across as a pleasant place to visit, filled with inscriptions that invite you to remember those who are gone, as well as interesting artistic details.

During this one-and-a-half hour guided tour, your guide will show and explain in depth the most significant monuments preserved here. These include: the Famedio, the most notable building in the Cemetery, where Alessandro Manzoni is buried; the tomb celebrating the Campari family, famous for the well-known aperitif brand, which is similar to Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper; and many other monuments.
