European Week of Cemeteries
From May 23 to June 1, 2025, "European Historic Cemeteries Week" returns,
this year dedicated to the theme "Gardens of 80," a series of events organized by
ASCE - Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe, to discover the civic, cultural and environmental value of historic and monumental burial grounds.
There are 441 cemeteries in Emilia-Romagna ( including 398 municipal, 20 Jewish, 14 cemeteries of war, 8 of other property).
Of these, 31 have been recognized by a regional law to enhance the tourism of these places, true open-air museums, rich in architecture and works of art and stories to get passionate about.
During "Cemeteries Week," guided tours are organized among decorated chapels, sculptures, frescoes and art objects that bear witness to the history and culture of an area rich in memory.
