ASCE - Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe

Faenza Cemetery  was established in 1816  in the original  15th century Franciscan  monastery of the Osservanza, which  already had  two cloisters. The complex was expanded  through a series of  works: first, in 1828,  the  rebuilding  of the church by the architect Pietro Tomba, who designed it in Neoclassical style, then , between 1858 and 1860, the construction of the   mighty  hemicycle of  red brick  columns which  is still   the  main entrance to the cemetery. This  was  designed   by Costantino Galli, an architect from the Ticino area.
