Additional Information

The Bonaria Monumental Cemetery is an enchanting and quiet place, brimming with intriguing stories preserved in the remembrance of the stone. It’s a location where time appears to pause, capturing expressions, trends, and marks of a Cagliari history that carries the slow yet occasionally abrupt socio-cultural progression of a city bound for change. The magnificent monumental works mirror a society in flux, sometimes humorously laying bare its contradictions, frequently leaving many queries unanswered. What transpired with the gentle keeper of the cemetery in 1854? And what riddles are concealed behind the puzzling vanishing of the renowned sculptor Giuseppe Sartorio, known historically as ‘the Michelangelo of the dead’?
