A modern art museum that fascinated Friedrich Nietzsche, Mark Twain and Ernest Hemingway, among others.<\/p>\n<p>This impressive work was built between 1844 and 1851 after the Napoleonic edict which imposed a ban on burial in churches and inhabited centers.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, an area was needed, far from the center, where to set up a monumental cemetery that would tell the rise of the city bourgeoisie. The bourgeoisie to which he belonged, Giuseppe Mazzini, the main interpreter of the unification of Italy.<\/p>\n<p>What really leaves you speechless about the cemetery is the majesty of its monumental chapels.
