Cemetery Italian-style

Beth's life-long interest in cemeteries prompted a walk on a foggy afternoon 

toward the cemetery in Assisi, Italy.

Here is what we stumbled upon. A walled enclosure on the outskirt of town with rows of concrete vaults, sealed with a marble plaque with a small photo of the deceased. 

It is obvious that many people commission architects and artists to design special mausoleums, chapels and tombs. There are also many well tended graves. It was kind of an open-air museum of funeral art. Fascinating!
