Il cimitero monumentale di Staglieno

The Cimitero monumentale di Staglieno is an extensive monumental cemetery located on a hillside in the district of Staglieno of Genoa, Italy, famous for its monumental sculpture. Covering an area of more than a square kilometre, it is one of the largest cemeteries in Europe.

History

The design of the cemetery of the City of Genoa dates back to Napoleon's Edict of Saint-Cloud from 1804, when he forbade burials in churches and towns.

The original project was approved in 1835 by the City's architect Carlo Barabino (1768-1835). However, he died the same year as a result of the cholera epidemic that struck the city and the project passed to his assistant and pupil Giovanni Battista Resasco (1798-1871).

Ken Hamilton, 1956

Born in Nigeria, West Africa, Irish painter Ken Hamilton returned to Ireland at the age of eleven where he eventually went to Art College in Belfast.

Seeking to learn about the science of art, Hamilton spent a lot of time researching and experimenting in order to learn as no one else had done it before.

On the contrast to other painters, Hamilton’s works did not so much portray his own emotions; instead they revealed the world we live in today and what we know about our world today.

Rejecting the trends of so-called contemporary art, he has sought to restore some of the ancient values of painting now discarded by so many.
