What a day! The Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno in Genoa, Italy is awe inspiring.

But don't take my word for it, Mark Twain wrote that, "We shall continue to remember it after we shall have forgotten the palaces."

Ernest Hemingway called it, "One of the wonders of the world."

Even Friedrich Nietzsche was a fan of this burial ground; he used to wander here for hours. I can see why!

I'd love to return and spend at least a week exploring. Here are a few photos I took during my visit.Read more
