Milan, Italy: Artful Cemetery

Milan's Monumental Cemetery. While there are many evocative cemeteries in Europe, this one, with its emotional portrayals of the departed and their heavenly escorts, in the melodramatic art styles from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is in a class by itself. It's a vast garden art gallery of proud busts and grim reapers, heartbroken angels and weeping widows, soldiers too young to die, acres of grief, hope, and memories.
