Europe's most artistic and dreamy cemetery experience, this grand place was built just after unification to provide a suitable final resting place for the city's "famous and well-deserving men." Any cemetery is evocative, but this one — with its super-emotional portrayals of the deceased and their heavenly escorts (in art styles c. 1870–1930) — is in a class by itself. It's a vast garden art gallery of proud busts and grim reapers, heartbroken angels and weeping widows, too-young soldiers and countless old smiles, frozen on yellowed black-and-white photos (free, pick up map at the entrance gate, Tue–Sun 8:00–18:00, last entry 30 min before closing, closed Mon, a long walk from Metro: Garibaldi FS, or tram #3, #4, #11, #12, or #14).
