The Crazy Graves of Staglieno Cemetery - Genoa 🇮🇹

[@grannybee]

This is much better than a museum. Those statues, the details, the beauty. It's absolutely amazing. I'm so glad you find these cemeteries.

[@deadgoodwalks]

Mind blowing isn't it. Really glad you enjoyed it

[@gaenadasylva]

I am in awe... I love how the fabrics are sculpted, the movements and fluidity... It is almost as if the wings will open and the angels fly... There is poetry everywhere... It is a blessing to admire all of that... Thank you...

[@SnyderTools]

Just blows my mind. There had to be several very skilled artists chiseling away constantly. Just amazing!

[@janetslicer3637]

Dan, there was that same sound of the din of diners conversing and eating again! Some of the finest scultures in the world must be there. I watched 60 Minutes on Sunday and it was explaining what Italy was doing with sculpturing the Carrera Marble that they still have plenty of. But they are using some of the finest, well tuned robots in the world to sculptor all kinds of art, ancient copies of sculptors, and brand new ones people are asking for. The big conundrum is many feel it is cheating while others feel it is justified. A very interesting take on what is happening in Italy. Even some of the young feel they want to continue as their father's did, while the older sculptures find it satisfying using a robot. Really makes you think about the new and lost art of master sculptures. ♥️☘️

What An Amazing Place!! What Talent Those Sculpters Had!! 😮

[@deadgoodwalks]

Not many alive now that could do it

[@suepoole8323]

Such an amazing place, I could spend days there. Surrounded by such intricate artwork makes it seem less of cemetery and more a celebration of life and faith, hope and love.. don't know if that makes much sense, a showing of wealth perhaps too.. I like to think that the family really believed in an afterlife and this is just how they saw there loved ones making that lonely journey. The boat did say something about adventure, but coming from Birmingham my language skills are not brilliant.

[@sabbyd1832]

Couldn't agree more with you about the statue. He's fabulous. !

[@kaloarepo288]

May have been already mentioned but there is a very iconic statue of an angel from the Staglieno cemetery that has entered popular culture and is even on the cover of a classic rock album - could be "Pink Floyd" or some band like that.

[@grannybee]

I'm totally with you. I think defacing statues in a cemetery is totally stupid.

[@deadgoodwalks]

so sad to see

[@marie-louisesegerlov8625]

What?Why? STUPIDITY!!!!!!

[@Chrisss2112]

The cemetery desecration is ignorance, and a disgrace 😢

[@DeuDeoEgo]

​@@Chrisss2112I live in London, there is a cemetery in Oval that is completely desecrated, watch your backyard before judging the Italians, you fool!

[@kay-vo6cs]

The art of movement with actions and flowing fabrics amazes me too. It would take me weeks to get through this! I want to know the stories behind every family!

[@khaussie]

Absolutely amazing sculptures thanks Dan

[@user-rt6cz3og7h]

Love your northern accent and your great vlogs of course.

[@gailknight3128]

It would cost a fortune nowadays to have such beautiful sculptures, goodness knows what it cost back then. Must have been some rich people living around there!

[@ginacorciullo8288]

Absolutely stunning sculptures, Dan! Thank you!

[@buddyfafard8846]

Another great video. Some of the best statues you have ever documented.

[@valariebedard2164]

I've always enjoyed the time you shared on your journey..😊 as always interesting sites across the miles.. ❤

[@AmynAL]

The sculptures are unbelievably beautiful. I would like to know if families gave artists their ideas, just gave them free rein, or both. So many have such intense portrayals. I will never get to see these places. Thank you for sharing them.

[@bordereau1]

These sculptures are beautiful. These people will be there for eternity and always remembered.

[@lorijones7139]

This is amazing cemetery the beauty I'm so amazed.

[@annprett8307]

Absolutely stunning artwork

[@beacee]

Amazing. You almost forget it’s a cemetery just looking at the artwork.

[@AndreaAlexandroNal]

First statue is not really a Roman soldier, he is Saint George, patron of the Republic of Genoa, who actually fought dressed as a Roman soldier.

[@imrosieposie2010]

I agree and the other Roman soldier is one too maybe saint who is a king? What do you think? My mind can’t think of names at the moment.

Taking a close a close look at this angel statue, a master carver made this. I would love to know his name. This kind of talent is genius. You were right. It’s beyond incredible and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

The most beautiful statue in Staglieno cemetery is the Monteverde Angel or Angel of the Resurrection . This statue is a masterpiece of neo-classical religious sculpture, created in marble in 1882 by the Italian artist Giulio Monteverde. The statue of 1882 guards the tomb of the Oneto family in the cemetery of Staglieno in Genoa, Northern Italy. It is one of the most famous works by the neo-classical Italian sculptor Giulio Monteverde (1837-1917) and was commissioned by Francesco Oneto, a president of the Banca Generale, in honour of deceased members of his family.

[@jude4381]

Wow, thank you so much!

Stunning. Better than any art gallery

[@Staffo1972]

these are insane beautiful and incredible masterpieces.

At: 3:33/27:01 To me that lady looks like the woman that Robin Williams played-- (no disrespect ment) At: 4:58/27:01 I'm using a magnifying glass to see some of the statues -- How did they carve that lady? The sad face, the magnificent detail in her dress.... The hours of work...on ALL the monuments is mind blowing....

[@deadgoodwalks]

I agree. If you can get youtube on your TV it'll be clearer, everything is filmed in high quality 4k :)

[@amandak.8629]

I see that kind of disrespect, here in the states, all the time. People break stones, dig up bones, spray paint statues and things…it is disgraceful. That’s someone’s family member. I will never understand why people do the things they do sometimes.

Breath taking.

[@FiGee1368]

Makes our modern skills look less than brilliant, doesn't it? And I'm 100% with you about writing on those (or anything really. Walls etc) pure vandalism but I guess they didn't know better.😤

[@deadgoodwalks]

I'll bring an eraser next time lol

[@AnthonyAndrews0128]

Couple of things. Hello, first off. Hope you're well. I saw a couple of portraits, in relief that because of the dust on them reminded me of photographs. Don't know if you've done this, but take an old black and white negative and put something behind it and it makes it look like a photo. THAT is what those reminded me of. Also, my thoughts on the skeleton with the scythe. He's laid out with the scythe 'drooping' and his arm up. An angel is above him. Yes, I know you know: you were there 😉 But, I take this to mean the occupant has beaten death. Death is 'defending himself' and losing. They have 'won' and are therefore 'resurrected'. Think that makes sense.

[@mj3825]

Compared to now😮 16:38 the boat, human library....the sculpts hold up but the buildings crumble....

[@juliedyson3383]

The talent of the sculptors is amazing, but so is the work of the men who had to move these statues to their final resting places. From what I could tell, most of these date from the end of the 19th century. How on earth did they move such massive, heavy stone sculptures from the artist's studio to this cemetery without damaging or breaking anything, without trucks, cranes, and the sort of heavy lifting machines we have today?

[@judithstonier9872]

Wonderful statuary there should be a memorial to the amazing sculptors 😊

[@IrishAnnie]

Wow!!! That man angel looks like he could just start talking. It’s unbelievable it looks so real. And yes, what idiots would carve their names on the monument.

[@NarayanKulkarni-mu2yp]

[@suzanparrish4798]

Dan, the sculpture with the skeleton holding the scythe shows Christ as the Arch Angel doing away with death as foretold. “The last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.”​-1 COR. 15:26.

@@patriciatoomingtheplantpar2558 Patricia, I'm surprised about the sarcastic tone of your comment, I was kind enough to reply and I'm kind enough to be less 'vague' for you: this is the monumental cemetery of Staglieno in Genoa, Italy and it's considered to be one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the whole planet. You won't find anything like this and if you do please don't be 'vague' and let me know 😘

Glad devil man gone, creepy self Magnificent carving architecture😊 this place is so beautiful yet sad all at the same time😢

[@carolynkatsilas8559]

On some of these statues are they depicting the people who are buried here, like I saw a mother and two children is that a true depiction of that mother and her children? I’m kind of thinking the busts are of the real people, but what about the others? Thank you for sharing these amazing statues, and the different cemeteries that go from awesome to spooky, in my like I would never be able to see these amazing things, so I really appreciate you, I know it’s not much but you have my deepest thanks ❤

Hi Dan and every body 😂i don't think there's one grave here in the whole of Ireland as good as any one of those these are the masters i wonder if many of them were done by the one man and the length of time it took to do one and if they are as well done today as back in those times

I can't tell, are these statues made of marble, or stone, or cement? Also if the death date says 1799, does that mean that it's been there for 200+ years? Thx ! Great shows too :))

[@Remnants_]

I’m so curious who comes up with the ideas for the statues. If it was the deceased person, their family, the stone mason/sculptor. Especially the things that are really artistic & open to interpretation. I wonder if the skeleton grim reaper is about the second coming of god/jesus & there being no more death. Otherwise it seems like such an unusual thing for a grave. Of all the things people can write on, things in a cemetery & other sacred spaces (including indigenous sacred sites) aren’t it.
