Exploring These Crypts On My Own Was a Bad Idea - Genoa 🇮🇹

[@genosho5574]

I've got two things for youu this time! First, the three little "coffins" you saw were not childrens coffins. They were "bone boxes" for the original inhabitants of that vault. To save space they were removed from their old coffins (these were disposed of) to be put into those little recepticles. And second: the crematory was already going full swing. Thanks to modern filters and regulations they don't spit out anything but hot air.

[@deadgoodwalks]

Thank you for the knowledge

WOW! Thank you for that additional information. Makes a lot more sense. ♥️☘️

Labor and artisans were incredibly cheap in the late 1800s and early 1900s, especially compared to after the world wars.

I thought the same. It looks like the most beautiful neighborhood.

[@janetslicer3637]

Oh, I loved this Dan. Now this, is my favorite cemetery. Truly out of this world! Perched on a high hill, the vistas are amazing! Genoa, this was perfect! ♥️☘️

[@louisejohnson5184]

I always wonder how the relatives or families of these deceased people could afford such huge morceliams for their loved ones. People in the UK can barely afford a funeral and burial these days.

[@فيصلالاسمري-ذ7ث]

The most beautiful cemetery i ever seen, gothic architecture style, romanian billars and egyption. Crucifix statues . The stairs very beautiful. Thanks Mr. Dan

[@MrAndreferrari]

The Little coffins you mentioned and saw, they are meant to keep the bones after the bodies decompose. To make room for new bodies.

[@iGame3D]

Yes, especially when the old coffin has decayed to brittle bits and dust.

[@walquirp13]

I Just Wonder why This tomb was open leaving those boxes exposed and accesibles to anyone.

[@AnnaMaria-zm8cv]

Those tiny caskets are not for kids, they are bone boxes. My grandparents are also in these, they are burried in a 3 casket family vault, they put their bones when decomposition was completed in a smaller casket and dispose of the rest (casket, clothes etc) so a new body could be buried. There are now 4 in this vault, my grandparents, my dad and my uncle, but the last two are still decomposing and nothing can be done for another 20 years to them. The remaining place is for my mom. And then the cycle repeats.

[@rev.waynet.oleary7387]

An entire village built for the dead.. your attitude to this is most moving and respectful thank you!

[@Kty27-65]

My hubby was for two years an undertaker and i remember him telling me that to make room for more coffins in the family tombs they gather the older bones and put them in smaller " boxes" . They can then continue to bury larger coffins 😊

[@maisieh.8620]

The stonework is incredible. Its a shame we don't see that craftmanship anymore.

[@nanslife]

This cemetery is just stunning. I would travel to Italy just to visit this.

The shear scale of these mausoleums is really impressive. Goodness only knows how much money these people must have had! What a stunning setting. I love your videos & hardly ever comment, but some of these are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Dan! I’m a long time subscriber and again I have to say I love your content and I have to admit that you have a most soothing voice! I wish I could go with you on your adventures and help you out. I simply can’t believe that you were not able to convince anyone to go with you. They all missed out and as they watch your videos, I bet they are regretting their decision not to go! My favourite mausoleum is the black one that you mentioned. It’s perfect in every way, even though it is not one of the most ornate and huge ones. Blessings to you and safe travels! Fondly, Lora.

I’m serious about joining you. I’m not afraid to climb over something or go inside. You need someone like me. I’m a recording artist who sings about such topics. My OAC is on here. Your videos are pure ASMR. Exceptional content!

[@pattycoe7435]

In America we have lots of land for cemeteries and don’t have vaults to house generations but do have our families buried in family plots. In the earlier settled areas you might have family members who were originally born in Europe. No matter what country you come from, family is important especially when it comes to burying.

[@suepoole8323]

A beautiful area all together, well maintained landscaping, and a spectacular array of crypts, mausoleums thank you Dan..

[@deadgoodwalks]

You're welcome Sue, thanks for coming along

[@FiGee1368]

Graveyard v. Disney? And the winner is............. Graveyard, every time!!!! Query tho, are they children's coffins? or could they be the sort of box they collect the remains in after a few years? (so they can make space)

[@bsdetector6908]

I wish you would look in more mausoleums, especially the older ones. I would be poking my camera through every gap!

[@haideludwig8998]

This cemetary has got to be the most beautiful that I've seen so far. Where in the world is this place? Ahh Genoa 😊 figures. The Italians are famous for being the world's best stone masons.

[@superduperfly6076]

So many Freemason symbols as well as Templers Symbols. Wonder what is the oldest grave you stumbled upon...

[@rustymotor]

Thanks for sharing your adventures in those fascinating cemeteries, I now have an appreciation for places I use to avoid, the architecture is beautiful! If I visit foreign places as a tourist I might explore their graveyards, far less busy than the bustling tourist areas.

[@SnapesHoney2800]

They were firing up the Retort (Cremation machine). You pre warm it to get it ready. There are filters the smoke goes through. But you could still smell it where you were at. My condolences to the family cremating their loved one that day. I am sure the staff there will take good care of them and be respectful.

[@jennybickham1407]

These cemeteries are beautiful. So much more interesting than our council owned, regulated and boring ones. Just an expression of humanity and emotion.

[@danielgeorge7802]

It's really more a faith and culturally based thing. Not to mention geological. Being part of the protestant side of Christianity, too much show is considered vulgar, not too mention the showing of busts/portraits being perilously close to popery and therefore idolatrous. The Catholic side tend to go in for a more flamboyant show in pretty much everything faith based. Interestingly though, as far as I understand, certainly in Britain, the less flamboyant the cemeteries the greater the tradition for walking around them as parks. In the Catholic part of the world it's almost unheard of

[@lindan2836]

And money.

[@judithstonier9872]

What an amazing place , I can't help wondering how much longer some of the mausoleums are going to survive if there in no family to maintain them 😊

[@carrieann1640]

That cemetery defies description, so vast, so varied. The plants and the stone.

[@susanbackus157]

Thank you so much for showing us these beautiful cemeteries. I have been to England twice and Paris once…I live in Arkansas, America. Unfortunately I was no there long enough to see the old beautiful cemeteries. We were too busy going to the normal tourist areas looking at architecture of castles, etc. Wish I had gotten to see all this beauty you bring to us! 😉

[@marierowe5969]

The ossuary boxes care for keeping the old corse bones in as space can be limited

[@lisapollock6651]

I I really enjoy your walks & commentary, some cemeteries ate absolutely beautiful. Lisa

[@MariaTorres-hc5uq]

1:40 I don't think those are children's coffins. They are probably the bones of the people buried in that subterranean vault. In that kind of vault corpses are deposited in lead lined coffins with a chemical that helps consumation (these days it's another kind of metal less polluent). Later, here in Portugal it might be as long as 50 years, the coffin is reopened and the bones collected in those smaller ones. This might also happen if the corpse is buried in a perpetual grave. But coffins that go underground are not lined, they are just plain wood usually pine because it degrades faster. Usually, it's done after 5, or more years, after burial. Coffins that go to vaults, under or above ground, are usually made of mahogany that doesn't rot, or at least not so fast.

[@juliefarrington5353]

The three small coffins looked too new. My guess is that they contain bones that were recovered from a decayed coffin or remains from another burial site.

It's a beautiful place to walk through.. but I don't understand why is the crypts and mausoleums so big and built like little stone cottages?

The Victorians had this affinity with death. The most spectacular mausoleums in cemeteries were erected from the 1820s through the first decade of the twentieth century.

[@TheAngeltinks]

This one would be hard to beat

[@Ronald-ks2iy]

@ when you walk through cemeteries you will notice the most beautiful and imposing mausoleums were erected for people that died during the Victorian era from the 1840s all the way up to the start of WWI. Even working class people spent a lot of money on them compared to today where the more popular choice are modest headstones.

[@Ronald-ks2iy]

@ so we can see ancient mausoleums on our cemetery walks? I think you are missing my point. These works of art we see in our cemeteries today were built particularly in the nineteenth are early twentieth centuries, my belief is churchyards were primarily used as burial grounds prior and there simply wasn’t the room for them but as cities began allotting large pieces of land specifically for burials regular folks began building monuments for their deceased loved ones. Of course ancient peoples honored their dead with grave markers but it was the folks during the Victorian era, christians in particular that sought to erect these beautiful structors with statues made of marble & copper. I grew up in England and my primary school was right next to a cemetery and sometimes my friends and I liked to calculate how old people were when they died. I have always liked cemetery walks, they were never creepy places to me but open air museums as you said.

A wonderful video indeed .. What is a bit shocking is how serious they take death , in that enormous amounts of money have been spent on these Tombs & vaults . These resting places were not built by any regular Joe Blow either . Not that they shouldn't honor their dead , but geez , that's alot of cash , the dead don't see where they are buried , they're dead . Well , i'm glad they did though , because now we can walk through these cemetaries that look like cities , all you need is a few Cafes' and a petrol station ..
