Cimitero Monumentale di Torino

[london1967]

I'm in Italy for a long week-end, visiting my parents.
This afternoon I went up to the Basilica of Superga and stopped on the way to visit a small part of the Cimitero Monumentale.
It's the largest in the city and was built in 1827-1829. Expanded a few times and bombed in 1943.

This is the main entrance with the chapel

Cemetaries are fascinating locations; no wonder photographers love to shoot them. I especially like photo #`12.

I am looking forward to taking a trip next week. I love how you chronicle your trips through photos. I would love to be in many of the places you've shown me both solo and with Adrian.

Thanks!

Thank you, Neil. I am glad you like the pictures, and I hope that some day you'll visit all these places.

Have a great trip down to Texas! (and back).
