Monumental Cemetery of Mortara
The Monumental Cemetery of Mortara (Italian: Cimitero Monumentale di Mortara) is located in the north-eastern outskirts of the city of Mortara, an Italian comune in the province of Pavia, in the region of Lombardy in northern Italy. The Monumental Cemetery of Mortara is one of the biggest and most important cemeteries in the Lomellina area. It is constructed in the traditional style of monumental cemeteries, with headstones and other monuments made of marble, granite and similar materials, and which rise vertically above the ground (typically around 50 cm (20 in) but some can be over 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) tall). Like most monumental cemeteries, the Monumental Cemetery of Mortara was outside the city because of health considerations, and a 19th-century belief that "death must be removed from the gaze of the living".
