Monumental Cemetery at Staglieno - Genoa Italy:
The Italians have the best cemeteries. This site captures some beautiful monuments. I haven't been to Genoa but I took the photo of the soldier and his bride at a cemetery in Florence after a long walk up a steep hill one rainy day. Because Florence is such an old city there are many thousands of people interred there and many of the crypts are above ground in units that resemble bus station lockers (in the building behind the happy couple). I assume that these would have been people who could not afford incredibly elaborate monuments.
