Certosa Cemetery located on the outskirts of Bologna.

From the side of Via della Certosa at the entrance you can see a huge monument dedicated to the sports heroes of Italy – Amedeo Rudjeri, Olindo Radji and others, and among the tombstones and graves there are impressive sculptures that are masterpieces of world art masters.

The cemetery arose as a result of legislative changes, according to which all cemeteries from the end of XVIII centuries should have been outside the city. This rule was reinforced by an edict issued by Napoleon years later. The architects' task was to create extravagant monuments and private chapels for the city's elite.
