Sobre o evento
Discover one of Milan’s most fascinating cultural landmarks: the Cimitero Monumentale.
Far beyond its original function, the Monumentale stands as an extraordinary open-air museum, where the city’s history and artistic excellence meet in a unique civic space.
Inaugurated in 1866 and designed by architect Carlo Maciachini, the cemetery was conceived as a monumental statement of unity and progress for a rapidly modernizing Milan. Its grand entrance, the Famedio, honors some of Italy’s greatest minds and civic leaders — from writer Alessandro Manzoni to Nobel Prize poet Salvatore Quasimodo — transforming the site into a true hall of fame for the city.
Walking through its avenues, visitors encounter an unparalleled collection of art and architecture. Neoclassical, Art Nouveau, eclectic and modernist styles coexist in striking mausoleums and sculptures created by some of Italy’s most renowned artists. Families such as Campari, Bocconi, and Falck entrusted their legacy to masterpieces that today form part of Milan’s artistic heritage.
Our guided tour will bring these stories to life, exploring how the Monumentale reflects Milan’s civic pride, artistic innovation, and cultural identity. It is not only a place of remembrance, but a testament to the city’s creative spirit — a museum under the open sky, waiting to be discovered.
