Gravely read the stones...

A great site I revisit from time to time is Il Cimitero di Staglieno which is a remarkable cemetary in Genoa, Italy. The site has some amazing photographs! If some of the momuments and statues look familiar you may have seen the photographs of Bernard Pierre Wolff which were used on the covers of the Joy Division LP Closer, and the 12" single release of Love will tear us apart...
