About
There are artistic tombs, monuments, and a beautiful "Hall of Fame" in this cemetery.
The Monumental Cemetery of Milan was designed by Carlo Maciachini and opened in 1866. It has tombs of figures whose names now adorn major metro stations, roads, and squares. It features several mausoleums of prominent local industrial families as well as a large Famedio (Hall of Fame) with the tombs of honored citizens, including Alessandro Manzoni, writer of the acclaimed 19th-century novel The Betrothed.
