156. Remembering the Dead_All Souls' Day

2009.11.02
Campo Verano (The cemetery in Rome)

The names of the persons who lost their lives in WW I
(See below some names in close-up)



Campo Verano, one of the cemeteries in Rome is a very vast one which is 80 hectares (= 800 000 m2)! The visit to this cemetery is a different experience because of its size and the medieval art. On 1st and 2nd November thousands visit this place to visit the tombs of their relatives or to pray for the dead (even if there aren't any relative).
