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

[@susanjoseph2380]

The talent these Italians sculptures had and have. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@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!

[@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!!!!!!

[@possumcolvett5722]

I think it's so disrespectful they are someone's resting place to be in peace if it doesn't belong to you leave it alone !!! Great video have a great day possum 😊

[@Chrisssy2112]

The cemetery desecration is ignorance, and a disgrace 😢

[@karenmunch4316]

It should be against the law. 😢

[@jacquialeksovski9408]

Some of these statues and mausoleums are breathtaking. I could spend hours just roaming and thinking. Thank you Dan I love your channel. The Italian cemeteries are brilliant.

[@sabbyd1832]

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

[@paulaharris4667]

@2:30 When you went in for a close up of the bearded angel he looked as if he was looking into the camera! Enjoyed the video!👍🏼

[@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.

[@suzyd2361]

Whomever carved this statues is a genius. The details are incredible, I love this place.

[@vamprealla]

Love seeing all these, they’re amazing in detail and scale! Zeus guy is awesome indeed

[@danell5202]

Dude you’re doing a good thing for people that might not be able to get to the cemetery & some of these people you’re showing are their family members.

[@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!

[@tracifruchtnichthansen6229]

I’m completely blown away! Definitely on my bucket lists to visit one day💜

[@lindaloe]

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

[@deadgoodwalks]

Not many alive now that could do it

[@michaelburgess9707]

I had to try and look up the wonderful tomb with the bearded man. It's Chronos, Father time, and he looks exactly how I imagine he might. Can't believe the graffiti engravings on him, it really needs to go into a museum. Thanks for sharing, I'm an enthusiast of grave art and memorials, this has to be one of the best I've ever seen.

[@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. ♥️☘️

[@melissaportaro3037]

These videos are absolutely amazing!!!! Thank you for putting this out .

[@TheRealBambihooves]

The artistry here (in all these cemeteries in Italy that you have visited) but especially here, blows my mind. It is breath-taking. ❤

[@khaussie]

Absolutely amazing sculptures thanks Dan

[@lorijones7139]

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

[@user-rt6cz3og7h]

Love your northern accent and your great vlogs of course.

[@ginacorciullo8288]

Absolutely stunning sculptures, Dan! Thank you!

[@lozinozz7567]

Those statues hold so many stories. I wish I spoke/read Italian. Your favorite was awesome. Pity about the defacing of it.

[@bordereau1]

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

[@branc2658]

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.

[@susanjoseph2380]

This is the best tour youve done.❤❤

[@lesleycoward3078]

These are real undiscovered art treasures - even on a par with The Vatican. Breathtakingly 'Dead Good!' Well done!

[@gigieckhart]

Absolutely incredible. It's so hard to pick out which ones I like the best. Thank you!

[@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.

[@imrosieposie2010]

Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful works of art! They are a marvel with the flow of the fabric… magnificent! Nowadays, they twist the middle in a grosses clay, and say it’s art you’ve gone back to the caveman age. God bless you for sharing us. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@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!

[@amybattiste5077]

All I can say is ...... WOW! Thank you for sharing these videos!

[@ianrobert6239]

Thanks Dan. Stunning tour as always.

[@deadgoodwalks]

[@buddyfafard8846]

Absolutely stunning artwork

[@marjolein523]

[@beacee]

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

[@valariebedard2164]

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

[@johnnyquest6894]

1:35 I couldn't agree with you more. Exquisite craftsmanship! Absolutely stunning!

[@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.

[@shereemcclelland2186]

Money is no object when it comes to Italians and memorials 🇮🇹These statues are beautiful, exquisite and so detailed. My mum is Italian and was born here in Australia, her birth name is Mary ( Maria) Fedela De Luca, family from Grumenta Nova. ❤️🇮🇹🇦🇺

[@fionagreenwood3231]

Good evening Sir, I’m watching in Northern Ireland 💙

[@jacquialeksovski9408]

I’ve watched this a few times, I love it. People who deface cemeteries, sculptures, etc are so disrespectful, it’s a terrible thing to do.

[@evelynpretty2231]

There are no words to describe just how Amazing these Works of Art are……Stunningly Gorgeous!!!! ♥️🪬🧿🪦🧿🪬♥️

[@LindaGrey-wm9uc]

Salvaged Tartarian remnants are all over graveyards going back to 17th (7th) century

[@mimikaws0508]

Hi new subscriber here from the Philippines ..nice videos keep it up

[@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.

[@DianneDuggan-sn5si]

How do they open these tombs to put another member of the family in. Also these statues must have taken so long to sculpt. They are truly magnificent.

[@alankerr2479]

Them sculptures is truely amazing ❤

[@pamelaprecious868]

I would be a partner in your cemetery walks. You're very privileged to be able to visit the dead. The architecture and the history is absolutely fascinating!

[@Valkonnen]

As a sculptor, I am overcome with emotion, seeing these. It makes me want to throw down my tools knowing that it's all been done, the most perfect way possible.

[@williammullikin2076]

wow beautiful sculpture it is a shame that many of them are so dirty, I am enjoying Italy but looking forward to vids from your homeland again

[@grannybee]

Thanks!

[@deadgoodwalks]

Thank you so much Bee x

[@krisgeringer3853]

I recently visited this cemetery on my visit to Italy. It was stunning. What is lost in a video are the tiny details of craftsmanship. I honestly enjoyed this as much as any other piece of art in Italy to include the Sistine Chapel. I think they should charge admission for tourist and use the money to maintain these masterpieces. I spend hours there. I got lost and mauled by mosquitos. It was wonderful.

[@deadgoodwalks]

I agree, far more interesting than most famous place. I got attacked by a dog and also had a great time ha

[@IrishAnnie]

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.

[@FeralSheryl1818]

Just wow! I have no words. Absolutely beautiful

[@annettewalter2273]

Those statues are mind blowing aren’t they. No expense spared.

[@alive4627]

Funny how, when studying art, one does not often get shown statues that adorn cemetery vaults. The art and effort that was put into these is extraordinary.

[@debbiewilliams7386]

Sculptures are spectacular! So realistic

[@joelhurley2678]

Wonderful Statutes ❤️ 😊

[@genapazilli6674]

I looked this cemetery up and some of these sculptures start at 500.00 to millions of dollars❤❤❤

[@tinaj984]

😲😲😲amazing...❤❤❤

[@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.

[@Arbadella-jv7rh]

Love your walks ❤️🌻

[@myralawson4543]

Omg! I know ppl will think I’m crazy but those memorials/graves are absolutely Gorgeous!! Such detail and the statues are so intricate and detailed. They could use a good cleaning though. 😉❤️❤️❤️

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 :)

@deadgoodwalks Thanks Dan ! I have Xfinity -- I will try to find your channel on my TV now. I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL ON THE TELLY!!! 👏😊💕 I've been watching your videos for 3hrs - I hate to stop but I've got stuff to do. Big thank you! Can watch on You Tube when you post plus TV now.👍

[@karencook9490]

These are so beautiful that they bring tears to my eyes. I think those Roman Soldiers statues may be Michael the Archangel.

[@prisedecourant]

c'est absolument magnifique, mais qui sont c'est personnes pour avoir des statuts pareilles étaient elles connues durant leur vie ? c'est dommage toutes cette poussière pourquoi les statuts ne sont elles pas entretenues et nettoyées

[@thefanone]

They all must be super rich😮

[@ronnieleemichael4973]

These are more of the best. Another fantastic video. And yes you're making sense, to me anyway

[@vvalasek]

I was thinking maybe they found the statutes from other structures and just used them here

[@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.

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

[@gerardjames8123]

The vanity of human beings is incredible! These dead people believed so much in their own importance, and yet most of them will have brought nothing to the world and will have taken nothing with them when they left. Having given so little to others whilst they were alive, the only piece of beauty that they leave behind is a statue, a meaningless momument to themselves! Whilst the poor and hungry starved and died before their time these meaningless people would have turned their heels in derision as they passed them in the street! Perhaps the real monument is to the sculpters who led poor under paid lives and whose talents are the real joy that we see! Here's to the great talent that these amazingly talented people have given to us in perpetuaty! ............Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return ! ........a lesson perhaps for us all!

[@madeleineharve4152]

It really is about the craftsmanship, I mean, the names of the deceased probably mean nothing, compared to those artist

[@Olivetti39]

why are the americans (of european ancestry) allergic to beauty? Europe is full of beauty (cathedrals, monasteries, royal and aristocratic villas etc.) dating back to past centuries when religion was thriving, while modern, ugly buildings (skycrapers, supermarkets, etc) and "art" lead to disbelief and depression, among other things.

[@ginacorciullo8288]

@@gerardjames8123 Here's to the sculptors and their magnificent work!

[@StacyL.]

I think you have a very cheeky way of looking at things! How do you know what they accomplished/not accomplished in their lifetime? Obviously someone accomplished something to get such a resting place. I'm not a woman of means by any sense of the word or definition and I'll probably be thrown in a pine box, but I'm not going to speak ill of the deceased. You're putting out a very negative vibe and it's sad you don't just see the beauty in what's left behind to admire.

[@StacyL.]

​@@Olivetti39That's quite an offensive thing to say. I'm an American of both English, Scottish and European descent and I'm GREATLY into art and see beauty in the most macabre things. You're very harsh. Please don't judge Americans on what YOU assume we are.

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?
