Cemeteries

Several decades ago, whenever I was traveling to a place, I tried to pay a visit to local cemeteries. I still try. I admit that I find (small) Italian cemeteries a bit more cheerful than elsewhere, although not necessarily always as scenic as other European ones (e.g. Edimburgh has some pretty ones, probably tourist traps, too…). Piled-up accessible coffins like those in Recoleta, in Buenos Aires, might impress some long-lasting memories, but after all, the cemeteries with some sort of pre-existing personal link, such as family members, friends, or colleages, are those I would prefer to visit, at least once in a while, when time, and distance, allow.
