A Grave So Sad It Made Me Quit and Walk Away Ω

Fine though these monuments are, this grave really made me think how long I can keep walking cemeteries for

[@myriadhues457]

The italians don't go halfway with honoring their deceased. These are some of the most intricate graves I've ever seen. Thank you much for visiting these places for those of us who can't. I would love to see some of these places but not sure if I'll ever have the funds to make it over seas.

[@autumnfall8829]

The amount of priceless sculptures in that place is mind-boggling. I can not even fathom the cost of one on those bronze sculptures. What a beautiful place.

[@carolineolsenarnold7039]

If they were all totted up in today's money you would be looking at a billion dollars easily. They are magnificent aren't they?

Brilliant series Dan thank you for all the hard work.

Milan was so beautiful. The statues were amazing, some actually spooky. Thank you for rhis series.

[@gigieckhart]

What a beautiful cemetery this was!

[@EllenHiller]

The graves of the young are so sad, but even the statues on the other graves depict such utter despair in grief that even watching through a screen leaves me moved to tears, I can imagine the toll it must take walking around and seeing them in person. But you did and I am so very grateful that I got to experience this through you. Thank you so much.

[@lozinozz7567]

Thanks for taking the time to walk around and share it with us. It was fascinating 😊

[@wandaorr2075]

The grave of the baby reaching out was so sad and devastating! May that little angel rest in peace.

Wow, all these graves are outstanding! You can feel almost the love of their families!!

The wealth shown there is unbelievable works of art.👍👁

[@denisesanders5589]

Guessing the sheep was symbolic of Jesus's flock. Loved your comment on a guy doing a back flip that made me laugh out loud. Sorry to hear you felt so sad., life is so fragile. x

[@Headloser]

Wow, these people have the money for all those art works.

The baby's grave was terrifying.

[@evelynpretty2231]

Totally agree!! Yikes! Who would even want something like that!?!🪬♥️🧿🪦🧿♥️🪬

[@RuthShelton-ou4id]

I think the baby as braking out of the grave and going up to heaven. I think that's what it's meant to represent. There's a grave of a little maybe 10 yr old boy -- how they made it I don't know. You see the wheel chair and a little boy looks so happy as he's leaving his chair while reaching up with his arms to the sky. It's meant to show that he's free -- free of pains & sickness and like he's being brought to heaven where he can run & play --and be very loved. He was finally not in pain anymore People leave toys as gifts. That child's parent's loved their sick child very much & set up a fund & foundation that would help parents pay for their sick children. So when I saw the little baby reaching upwards out of his or her tomb maybe it's supposed to show the same as the boy in the wheelchair. It's just another sick child who suffered & died body wise but the child's soul was now free and Jesus would gently hold that child and love and make that child we'll again.. Anyway, that's my take on it

Thank you for showing us this amazing place, some of the memorials are depressing but the sculptures are beautiful, personally I agree with you that I would rather be remembered with a smile than tears 😊

[@janetslicer3637]

That one little baby trying to escape was disturbing. Milan is rivaling Turin. Incredible sculptures, bronzes, etc. I wonder how long those will last? Just amazing to what extent these families will go to remember family members! Very nice video Dan. You have out done yourself again! Bravo! ♥️☘️

[@brandyjean7015]

Not fancy, but an old pioneer cemetery near my home has 4 markers for a family's lost children: 4 lost on the same date in August. Illness, fire, failed river crossing, something more nefarious? Always makes me sad.

[@ianrobert6239]

Excellent again Dan. 👍

[@traceyanne777]

They are really trying to out do each other to the point the cemetery is just terrifying. Imagine that place at night 😱

[@ericalbany]

There was definitely some social rivalry going on, even after death.

[@suepoole8323]

A fascinating tour Dan, Thank you.. always sad when there are children, and that wee baby reaching out towards Heaven with outstretched arms (at least that is how I think the family meant it to be) perhaps a child that had suffered in it's year on this Earth..God Bless them all and you to Dan stay safe and well.

You couldn't pay me enough to go round these cemeteries with the statues great video and commentaries. Stay safe!

So many times like visiting art museums. The history at times just as fullfilling. We all end up some place like this eventually. Might as well embrace it.

Amazing, these memorials must of been for wealthy families. The construction, art and design is fabulous

Hope you continue to walk the cemeteries, Dan. After seeing the ones in Italy, the ones in the UK seem plain. Still beautiful though.

I Agree, But It's So Sad Too.🎉😢

[@alchemest]

I am astounded at the amount of money people spent on these. I am not questioning their love or respect for their dead, just the huge cost. In todays equivalent, it must add up to billions.

[@tls8688]

In the beginning, with the two young infants laying on top of the monument…were they perhaps conjoined? The sheep standing with the man on the grave: may be symbolic for “the lord is my shepherd”

What cemetery is this?

[@thelmaguaetta1109]

The statuary is erected as tribute by the loved ones of the deceased because it has great meaning to them. Therefore, they are not "weird, crazy, etc." Edit yourself, lest you dishonor these people. Sheep represent the Lamb of God, which is Christ. Educate yourself.

[@jimmyoconnell6167]

Where the grave yard totally different from a British grave yard?

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

It is strange that there are such fine monuments, but the plaques and photographs are broken and fallen off. And even though the area looks well cared for, I don't understand why they don't attempt to restore them. Your idea of having happy memories in the cemetery is very nice, but sadness is what most people remember when it comes to interring their loved ones, except children, where a mother wants to have a pose of the child in happier times, and not posed in death, most of the time. Although you do see those poses as well. Which is why I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered with no monuments or anything. But, take some time and enjoy yourself at some other activities to keep from burning out!

[@ericalbany]

I think that there is enough money to keep things in order but not enough for restoration. Many of the families no longer have the wealth they once had - or they may have died out or moved away. When I die no one is going to go and care for my parents gravestone.
