The Cimitero Monumentale de Milan was another must see destination during my visit to Milan. Opened in 1866, it consolidated several smaller cemeteries. It is known for the famous Italians buried there and it’s many beautiful artistic tombs, monuments and mausoleums. If you have ever experienced grief, there are some monument sculptures in this cemetery that will bring you to your knees.
“If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane,
I’d walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.”

“Because I could not stop for death,
He kindly stopped for me:
The carriage held but ourselves and immortality”
Emily Dickinson
