Description
While visiting where my father's parents were born and raised I decided my trip wouldn't be complete without visiting Scigliano's Village Graveyard. This is the entrance to the cemetery which is made up of 9 small hamlets in all.
It's a quiet and peaceful Italian Cemetery in the mountains not far from the sea, in Southern Calabria. The entire town is nestled into the mountains where mostly everything is a landscape. As is the case throughout Italy . . . no one in this cemetery is buried under the ground. It's filled with mostly beautiful and ornate mausoleums proudly exhibiting the family name. An occasional crypt is seen but they're at least a couple of hundred years old.
