Disturbing Find in a Cemetery- Genoa 🇮🇹

[@juliedyson3383]

The differences in the cemeteries you have visited in Italy is amazing! From the mafia, to the truly appallingly neglected, to well-kept, to mountainous - wow! Can't wait to see Part II. Be careful - we need you!!

[@Olivetti39]

I think that the "mafia" was just a joke...the employee was probably surprised to see a man filming, given the state of that cemetery, which in turn is due to the (modern) anarchic state of things in Naples

[@DeborahIsaacs-nx4dw]

Magnificent, Italians really know how to do the resting places of their loved ones, sculptures are WOW😮. Thanx, great walk.😊

[@bordereau1]

The sculptures are amazing.....

[@greywebs1944]

But crap at maintaining throughout.

[@ronnieleemichael4973]

Some of these cemeteries far outshine many museums for their artwork

[@nikitatavernitilitvynova]

This is why this cemetery in particular is called the monumental cemetery of staglieno (cimitero monumentale di Staglieno in italian) and also because there are a few famous historical figures buried there. One that comes to mind is Oscar Wilde's wife. Also Staglieno is just the district it's located in. A bit on the outskirts of Genova but still not the middle of knowhere even if it seems like it. For context I've been a citizen here since I was born.

[@dominicwroblewski5832]

Wow ! My hat's off to the Italian sculptors and stone cutter.

[@myriadhues457]

incredible cemetery. Its as much a sculpture garden as a place to honor the departed.

[@spitfirekev]

I forgot I was watching a cemetery at one point. You take us, only to the best places Dan. Excellent job done mate 👏👏👏👏

[@deadgoodwalks]

Cheers mate, yeah plenty of scenery to look at too

[@susiecross3174]

Dan, What a wonderful video! You must be part Billy Goat climbing up and around this cemetary! Thank you!🥰

[@terrigoding6674]

Love your videos I have a disability so travel and walking far is a problem for me but thanks to you I can pay my respect so to say

[@TroyShore]

The artwork on these are unreal. People took so much pride in their work then. The eyes on some of the statues look so lifelike.

[@JulieObrien-f3r]

Scarily so!! 😮

[@ianrobert6239]

Thanks Dan. Love the location and design of this Cemetary. 👍

[@deadgoodwalks]

Cheers mate, gets better too. Appreciate the fiver!

[@suepoole8323]

Just how many times can I say wow to these beautiful cemeteries.. thanks Dan and WOW

[@deadgoodwalks]

haha yes. It's hard for me too

[@mindypeach3951]

Gads the dramatic sculpting that goes into these statues. They are just beautifully genius!!!!

[@IrishAnnie]

The workmanship, probably paid the artists pennies to do it. This kind of talent is genius.

[@evilladollyz7602]

Ooooo I would love to go through those little doors to look.... Fascinating to see what might be in those crypts as far as artefacts go and see everyone's caskets. Some are works of art in themselves. ❤❤❤❤

[@Ina7808]

Ich bin sehr erstaunt über diese Kunst und die Liebe für die Verstorbenen ❤ Danke für dein Video

[@grannybee]

I also forgot that this was a cemetery. These statues are amazing. Another fantastic walk.

[@deadgoodwalks]

Glad you enjoyed it Bee x

[@emilyspector2728]

These people must’ve been wealthy to have such artwork done!

[@weemac4645]

Wow,do you think so?

[@weemac4645]

This is Emily spector, BBC news, stating the bloody obvious. 😂.

[@IrishAnnie]

Surprisingly, artists were not paid that much.

[@darlene1417]

​@weemac4645 on behalf of Emily's comment, your response is quite childish.

[@jennycampbell5236]

Another fascinating cemetery Dan. All of those sculptures would look so beautiful if they were cleaned. Even in death some humans still have to put themselves on a pedestal and look down on everyone else. It seems like because they lived a luxurious life that they must have an elaborate mausoleum to remain in eternity in.

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

Here is a poem by Antonio De Curtis, ( known as Toto') an Italian comedian, actor, director, poet, and playwright. Originally written in the Neapolitan dialect The level Each year, on November the 2nd, it's customary to go to the cemetery for (to visit) the dead. Everyone ought to do this courteous deed; everyone ought to keep this duty in mind. Every year, without fail, on this day, of this sad and gloomy recurrence, I too go there, and with some flowers adorn the marmoreal vault of Aunt Vincenza. This year it occurred to me an adventure … after having completed the sad homage. Mother of God! to think of it, and what a fright! but then I pulled myself together and took heart. This is what happened, listen to me: the closing hour was fast approaching: serious and grave I was about to exit looking at some graves here and there. "Here rests in peace the noble Marquis Lord of Rovigo and of Belluno intrepid hero of a thousand exploits dead on the 11th of May of 1931." The coat of arms with a crown to top it off … … below a cross made up of small light bulbs; three bunches of roses with a mourning ribbon: candles, stubby candles and six votive lamps. Right next to the tomb of this noble lord stood another grave, really small, forlorn, with not even a flower on it; for designation, just a miniscule cross. And on top of the cross, one could barely read: "Esposito Gennaro - netturbino (garbage collector)." looking at it, I felt such a deep pity for this dead man without even a small votive lamp! Such is life! I, in my head, reflected … some have had a lot and some have nothing. Did this poor fellow ever expect to be a wretch even in the other world? While I was fantasizing upon this subject, It was almost the midnight hour, and I ended up locked in like a prisoner, scared to death, … in front of all those candles. All of a sudden, what do I see in the distance? Two shadows coming towards me … I thought: this appears to me quite strange … Am I awake, … asleep, or is it a fantasy? No fantasy at all; it was indeed the Marquis: with top hat, monocle, and mantle; and the other behind him a nasty figure, stinking to hell and with a broom in hand. And that one is for sure don Gennaro … the one who died poor … the rubbish collector. I can't make any sense about this fact: they are dead, and they retire at this hour? Oh well … They were perhaps a palm away from me, when the Marquis suddenly stopped, turns seriously and grave … quietly and calm, saying to don Gennaro: "Young man! I'd like to know from you, you filthy wretch, with what audacity and how have you so dared to have yourself interred, to my shame, next to me, emblazoned as I am! Caste is caste, and must, indeed, be respected, but You have lost both mind and measure; your body needed, of course, to be interred; but buried in the garbage heap! Not a moment more can I tolerate your stinking proximity, therefore it is proper for you to find a grave among your equals, among your own folks." "Mister Marquis, it is not my fault, I wouldn't ever done you this insult; it was my wife who did such a nonsense, what could I do since I was dead? Were I alive, I would make you happy, I would take the little casket with those few bones And right now, … this very instant, I would remove myself to another grave." "And what are you waiting for, you filthy wretch, for my wrath to reach the overflow? If I hadn't been a titled man I would have resorted to violence already!" "Show me then! … pick up this violence! … Fact is, Marquis, I've had it up to here listening to you; and if I lose my patience, I'll forget I'm dead, and it'll be blows! … Who do you think you are … a god? In here, won't you get it that we are all equals? … … Dead are you and dead also am I; each one, once is gone, is exactly the same (as any other)." "You filthy swine! … How dare you compare yourself to me who had nativity of illustrious, most noble and perfect (forbearers), so as to be the envy of Royal Princes?" "What of Nativity, … Easter, and Epiphany!!! *) Won't you get it through your skull and into your brain, that you are still diseased with delusion! Do you know what death is? … it's a Level! A king, a magistrate, a great man, on entering this gate comes to conclusion that he has lost everything, life and even name: haven't you yet reached this reckoning? So, listen to me … don't be obstinate, put up with my proximity - what do you care? only the living indulge in these buffooneries: we are serious here … we belong to DEATH

[@williammullikin2076]

Dan this place is gorgeous, the trees, the landscaping, the multiple levels and beautiful sculptures. thanks. Also as an American I find your accent very pleasing, laid back and, most of the time, easy to understand. Are you going to do anything Halloween oriented like last year? Your night walks at Grey Friars? were what got me interested in your channel.

[@deadgoodwalks]

The weather wasn't really that great for Halloween stuff this year, plus its halloween every day on the channel lol

[@fairyqueen-m7t]

The lost art of doing it in style!! Absolutely exquisite 🧚‍♀️🩷

[@AmicheleStyle]

A LADY ASKED WHAT WOULD IT COST TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR HER...I SAID, FIRST, TENS OF THOUSANDS, SECOND, THE ARTISTRY DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE...NOT ON THAT LEVEL---NO... JUST REMARKABLE...

[@TonyLamannaArtStudio]

Staglieno, my favorite cemetery in Italy

[@donnatripp8413]

Since I found your channel I have been so enjoying your walks! It was always a dream of mine to go to Italy and I know I will never make it due to cancer. Your walks have given a glimpse into what I would have visited if I had made it there myself and for that I am so thankful! It is so beautiful, tragic n wonderful all in 1! Tysm!

[@deadgoodwalks]

Donna, I'm so sorry to hear that. Like you said at least I can show you a glimpse, it's the next best thing. I hope to show you a lot more places in Italy x

[@garyhodgkinson4437]

Great channel mate. Always safety first.

[@janetslicer3637]

It started out very impressive. Beautiful actually in many areas. At the end I wondered how much older those niches were that were falling apart or the facades are gone leaving the insides exposed. Love all the trees that make it look like a natural mountain setting. Maybe I am mistaken. Thank you Dan, it was well worth it. ♥️☘️

[@judithstonier9872]

Another amazing cemetery I had vertigo when you were at the top of the steps ! 😊

[@UCK1994]

I was at the Staglieno Monumental Cemetery a year ago. Everything is falling apart and nobody cares about the graves, except those of the rich and famous.

[@weemac4645]

Eventually they too will be rubble.

[@juncube6570]

🇺🇸 Another beautiful cemetery 😊

I’ve never seen anything like this cemetery. It’s stunning in artwork and sculpture. This is the very best one you have walked for us. The artwork is museum quality.

[@greylynnjr]

Farout man. Would never woulde have imagined how beautiful those cemeteries are in Europe

[@shirlysmilesmusic6919]

That first one! Wow! Wonderful

[@carolmurray5048]

Hey@ Dan always look forward to your videos

[@tsgrandma9837]

It's possible the reason to pay to enter this graveyard is so that the older graves, (the exposed ones), can be repaired. It makes sense because none of the family who knew them are still alive to pay for the repairs and the money has to come from somewhere. If that is where the money is going then it's while worth the entry cost.

[@genapazilli6674]

Wow what detailed coffins!!!👍👍👍👍❤ from 🇨🇦

[@karifredrikson-lr1mm]

Can you imagine walking through these corridors at night? By the light of a torch? Hands moving,faces following you? Tears falling, heads turning.

[@RuthShelton-ou4id]

Don't forget to hit the MORE under the video here if you want to see the map bit. My goodness that place is huge also. The carvings & statue's are amazing. I'm glad you didn't go up those crumbling steps. A shame that the wall bit is falling down-- if not fixed soon it will be a real mess with coffins on the ground. Thank you for all the walking around -- & I hope the storm past.❤

are the people actually in the ground or just in the monuments in the above ground graves? these Italian graves are amazing

To see those coffins exposed; with the amazing statues throughly; the basic brickwork falling is odd.....

[@lanaj1107]

Wonderful video! I have a question: how does one get to the vaults beneath the smaller upper tombs? I see no access, so I assume there's some underground tunnels?

Staglieno cemetery is the most famous in Italy, but I admit that from this video I have not seen the justification for such fame, unfortunately sometimes words surpass reality or perhaps in the next videos it will become more beautiful
