Eaten alive by mosquitos in this crypt - Poggioreale Naples Part 5 🇮🇹

[@alliposh8097]

there was a grave the piqued my interest as you passed, I had to pause and translate it. Turned out to be a boy of 11, Carlotto. Beautiful poetic epitaph his family gave him- " his strong intellect, which had manifested itself early as a vivid light, had radiated the parents with hope. but on the night of January 25, 1888, he extinguished the kind Carlotto, traveling as if in whirlwinds of fire, affections and passions and ideals"

[@alliposh8097]

even sadder, above him it looks like his sister, who was born a few months after Carlotto's death, and having died around the same age: on June 25, 1888 soothe the disappointment of his loved ones due to the passing of a daughter, she was born Guilia Moglin her birth was a hope, and nothing was spared, so that she would grow strong and kind. the inexorable scythe of death of the evening of 26 February 1895 reaped this tender life.

Hi Dan. I love your idea of chilling with the relatives who have passed. You could read or listen to music or just enjoy the peace. A haven from this world of madness.

[@Romantyk_Zagrebelski]

Thank You dear friend! It's a very beautiful and historical cemetery. Open bodies in the one mausoleum - maybe it's a embalmed bodies from old times, 120 -150 years ago.

[@rhondamc3642]

Those bodies in shrouds were CRAZY!!

[@joelhurley2678]

Thank you Dan for the great tour.

[@angelaboschetto9106]

Both my grandparents are buried in Napels . After so many years being buried the grave is dug up and if the body and the coffin are wrotten and the body is just bones. They put the bones in the wall with a picture and light. Due to not having much land for graves to stay in the ground for other buriels. Unless you have a family crypt and family's will stay in their coffins and be in the crypt. My grandma has a family crypt with her mum and dad ect. But my grandad did not so it was agreed grandma wanted to be with grandad so they decided who ever dies first will be buried and then put un the wall when ready too and grandad would be put with grandma when the time comes. My grandparents had a traditional Italian funeral. They lived in the uk so was transfered in the coffin by plane. The Hurst met us at naples airport to transfer to the village then transfered to a black Hurst pulled by 6 black horses a band lead the horses and petals was thrown on the floor . A notice had gone up a month before letting people know about the funeral. It was very beautiful.

That cemetery should be called The Maze of Death. Hands down the creepiest yet most fascinating conglomeration of burial places yet.

[@wondergranny2299]

You could prank soneone: talk them into letting you surprise them w something, so they'd have to wear a blindfold (and this is at night), and let you take em somewhere. You get to the cemetery, and they have no idea where y'all are. So you're wearin night vision goggles as you lead him to the very middle of said cemetery. You tell him to count to 10 or whatever, and then he can remove the blindfold. You've already snuck away heading back to your car. So to his shock he finds his self completely lost in a dark cemetery, having to find his way out. So you sit in your car and wait, laughing your ass off. You listen for any sound of his voice. You continue to wait, even if it takes till morning. Maybe he found his way out in some other direct. Or maybe he didn't make it out at all...?

[@CM-sm6rs]

@wondergranny2299 Ooo god, what a nightmare that would be! That place is beyond horrible in the day. I can't even imagine it at night. The shadows and sounds at night would cause a nervous breakdown.

[@karenweaver134]

Mausoleums as AirB&B’s that’s pretty damn weird! That’s what I love ❤️ about you Dan!

[@MrJerryleyva]

It's fascinating how these crypts and tombs in Italy show how little architecture for the dead has changed in over two thousand years. This cemetery evokes all kinds of emotions from fascination, fear, disgust, excitement, and mystery. There are so many beautiful tombs and some awful, broken ones. The tombs with the lights are interesting. The cemetery must be fascinating lit up at night. Take care of yourself and be safe. Cheers.

[@Blueskys1972]

Nowadays people live in tiny houses just a little bit bigger than those mausoleums.

[@phoenixman8569]

no kidding but most not from choice but necessity, some countries housing is so insanely expensive, that such places sadly are all they can afford

I love all the wrought iron doors... they are lovely. Its massive there. ❤

[@Ashley88.]

:) it’s not just you! And not in a morbid way. My mother is an artist and was always interested in people’s life stories and their history. Old stories. When I was little, her and I would take the dog for walks on sunny days through cemeteries. We would bring chalk and paper and find the oldest tombstones we could in the cemetery and do grave rubbings. We would imagine what that person’s life was like and pick daisies and dandelions or whatever little flowers we could find, and place little bouquets down for people. For me, they are amazingly peaceful places. Looking back, I think at a young age it taught me empathy, respect, and the beauty of life. And when my mother is gone one day… I have a beautiful sketch book filled with grave rubbings that serve as memories of her and how was always so interested in others and she cared for people in general. She went on to become a medical equipment expert and now assists people during their last days with us with such compassion. I am in the process of taking over her business as she retires, and often her patients tell me she will forever have a very special place in their heart… like a daughter. She always spent extra hours off the clock chatting with the elderly who just wanted to tell their life stories but the nurses were too busy to listen. Now, when we go visit their graves once they’ve gone, we don’t have to imagine their lives into wild fantastical stories. And often, the true life stories are much, much more interesting. ☀️ 🕊️

A columbarium holds cremated remains not coffins. Coffins placed above ground are in a mausoleum, and coffins in a subterranean space are in a vault. Possible to have all three in the one building. A fascinating collection of videos of a vast cemetery

[@rustymotor]

I am amazed how much money and effort was put into building those huge mausoleums, no expense spared. If it wasn’t for all the mosquitoes a person could set up camp in one of those structures and it would be a nice quiet place to sleep. Many mausoleum seem to have electricity connected for the lights which could be used as well.

Vai anche al Cimitero delle Fontanelle e alla cripta della Chiesa del Purgatorio ad Arco, a scoprire la pratica dell'essiccazione dei cadaveri tramite scolatura!

The candles, as is the case among Catholic cemeteries in the US, are used loved ones of the dead to guide them through Purgatory. The place between Heaven and hell. So that’s what the candle holders are for.

[@jeanproctor3663]

It's a beautiful cemetery, even in its decay isn't it? They could do with getting a squad of like-minded people to volunteer to help tidy it up a bit because it's such a shame that it was allowed to go to wrack and ruin. On the subject of using buildings there to hire out to people, they did that with the Samuel Worth Chapel in the General Cemetery here in Sheffield and among other things, there's a monthly Goth/Alt night there called "Into The Trees". They don't have many tickets for sale and the ones they do have sell really quickly, because the capacity for the chapel is only 60 people, and that includes staff, guests and any performers.

I, as well as others, do wish you would slow down when looking in mausoleums and names and dates. Some of the epitaph are very interesting. We are interested in the people and their stories. You are in a rush to get through the cemetery because you are on a time restraint, but we aren’t. I’d rather, even if I see only half of the graves, learn about the people and their families and when they lived and died. Especially, when peaking in the chained doors. Your camera going in and out is too fast. It’s a blurt to us. The time you spent looking at the two rapped up bodies was a good amount of time for us to see what they looked like. Please do that more often. Thank you!
