  • Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno (Monumental Cemetery), City of Genoa, Italy - Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno, Monumental Cemetery in Genoa, Italy, what to see. Let's go visit the Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno which is an extensive cemetery located on a hillside in the district of Staglieno of Genoa, Italy, famous for its monumental sculptures. Covering an area of more than a square kilometre, Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno (Monumental cemetery in Genoa) is one of the largest cemeteries in Europe.
    Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno (Monumental cemetery) is a stunning cemetery famous for its extraordinarily delicate & lifelike mourning sculptures
    Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno (Monumental cemetery) was designed by the famous Genovese architect Carlo Barabino in a Neo-Classical style, the Staglieno Cemetery (Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno) opened in 1851. A compromise between the formality of the traditional orderly camposanto layout and the newly fashionable wilderness style of boschetto irregulare, seen in Père Lachaise in Paris, the grounds included cloisters, garden paths, and a reproduction of the famous Pantheon in Rome. The new cemetery quickly became the fashionable death option, and increasingly was a showcase for world-class sculpture.

    Your attention to detail is so compelling. The emotion of those who have lost their beloved ones is in every inch of these beautiful monuments. Your choice of music enhances what is there ... emotion in living stone....the elegance of grief, born of love.

    Che slancio creativo del pensiero creativo, che bella opera di grandi maestri che hanno creato questi capolavori e immortalato la memoria dei defunti per centinaia di anni. Qui ci si immerge nel regno di Dio e ci si rende conto della grandezza della vita in terra e della vita in cielo. Dopo questo memoriale, il pensiero non si allontana per molto tempo da ciò che si è visto.
    Grazie all'autore di questo film, alla vostra salute Vic e al vostro successo creativo

If only I could have given you a place in eternity like these beautiful monuments! Your kindness, your faithfulness, your gifts to the poor, your heart open to God...I had Paradise with you.

You lie in the earth asleep..why am I not with you, when my heart has no other home but yours?😭

    • @VicStefanu
      @VicStefanu  5 років тому +1

    • @pumpupjam9648
      @pumpupjam9648 5 років тому +3

      @@VicStefanu Vic, you are right. Hosing them down might destroy and break them. But they need to be restored to their glory they once had before the pollution in the air got to them. They are like a beautiful oil painting or fresco, they need some people who love them to come clean them. If not the embedded dirt will destroy them forever. Permission should be a given because the original families are long dead and gone. The people responsible for the upkeep of the cemetery should take responsibility. If Italy salvages fresco's of long dead artist, then why not these magnificent artists marble images and likeness of the person who died and their families. It saddens me to view them with so much filth on them. I will always remember them the way they were meant to be scene, white pure marble. This cemetery is a national treasure. Should not go to waste.

  • @pumpupjam9648
    @pumpupjam9648 5 років тому +1

    What is the saddest for me to see AGAIN, is that these beautiful sculptures are not cleaned. The dirt of time is still on them. Back in 1965, when I was there, they were clean, no dust no dirt. 50 years past now, and they are filthy! This is what make me so sad when I visit Staglieno, one of Italy's finest and grandest cemeteries in the world! Why can't the care takers of the cemetery clean these up. Most of the families of those entombed are dead themselves and cannot clean their tombs. My cousin is buried there, and her tomb is being taken care of by her son and grandchildren. But most of the families who were buried there some 80 to 100 years ago are dead and gone. I hope they clean them up, they look beautiful but the filth is to much for me.

    • @VicStefanu
      @VicStefanu  5 років тому +1

      Thank you for your comments. When I was there, workers were cleaning one beautiful white marble statue and I spoke to them. They explained that in most cases, the marble is covered with dust that has been glued to the surface, thus making it difficult to remove it and this is why it is a laborious process and an expensive one.. now, since most of these beautiful monuments cover tombs of people that have no relatives anymore, nobody wants to paint for this expensive cleaning process..

      Cuando estuve allí, la estatua estaba cubierta con una tela gruesa y especialistas la estaban limpiando del polvo que la había cubierto a lo largo de los años.

    Vic I truly enjoy ALL your videos but it breaks my heart that these priceless works of art are so filthy, covered in soot and mold and pitted and stained by pollution. Is there any public or private organization tasked with preserving all this irreplaceable beauty? With much love and admiration, J.

    • @VicStefanu
      @VicStefanu  4 роки тому +1

      I know what you mean.. most of the priceless marble statues are covered in thick dust that has been glued on them... the descendants of the deceased have disappeared (or, do not exist, or, no one knows who they are) and as a result these monuments look neglected and abandoned.. the city of Genoa, of course, does not have the funds to clean them all up - when I was there, they were cleaning one and the cost was running into thousands of Euros, imagine having to clean 4-5 thousand of them?

      Vic Stefanu - Amazing World Videos you have given those of us such beauty, such wonders, those of us who can never travel to these pkaces...here in the USA. Civic organizations 'adopt' streteches of road, monuments, etc. Our attitude is, it belongs to us, we should take care of it.' In fact, if every Catholic church in America adopts one monument, every church in Italy, adopts a monument...i cannot believe such beauty could disappear from the world. At least heroes like you preserve what you can on film But why oh why is this not a World Heritage Site? Like the Taj Mahal etc.?

      Vic Stefanu - Amazing World Videos do you know, late, late at night, I walk thru your videos like a ghost, so badly wanting to smell the trees, feel the sun, maybe chatter in a friendly way to other ghosts..I contemplate the reality that all must walk thru the doors into eternity..I shall leave no beautiful monument. YOU have left a monument of flickering light, of silent, tender eloquence. As you see, all of the universe moves inexorably towards entropy. How wise you are, to build your monument out of light, and that light is the Lux Aeterna, still to shine when eye and star are but dust.

    7 employees of the Staglieno cemetery, including three communal inspectors, were arrested by the carabinieri for systematic looting and desecration of graves. During the investigation conducted by the carabinieri, it was found that this criminal group for many years with special cynicism was engaged in the destruction of graves and the theft of dental and orthopedic prostheses, as well as gold rings and other jewelry left by relatives of the deceased. Grave robbers did not disdain anything, in particular, they emptied aluminum coffins, pressed them directly into the cemetery, and then sold valuable metal scrap. Criminals extracted precious metals and alloys from prosthetics, primarily titanium and gold, which were also sold. The carabinieri found that dentures that did not contain gold were also sold on the black market, the existence of which was not even suspected by law enforcement agencies. Grave robberies were carried out on a large scale,and stolen valuables were sorted and often sold in bulk. In addition, malefactors actively plundered ancient graves, from which marble sculptures and friezes, as well as other products made of valuable materials, were stolen. In parallel, members of the criminal group operating in the cemetery of Staglieno actively traded places for burial, actually ruining and desecrating existing graves. . The criminals are charged with desecration of graves, theft, theft of valuables, as well as damage to monuments of historical value.🤦‍♀️

    Why don't they clean them, it would more spectacular to see them in the snow white of the marble. The dirty gray just doesn't do them justice.

      True.. However, the dust has settled on the statues and has penetrated the upper layers of the marble, it is now a very expensive process to clean them..
