It is also known as Camposanto Nuovo, to distinguish it from Camposanto Vecchio, which is now known as Cemetery of the 366 Fossae. It is bordered by the Largo Santa Maria del Pianto, Via del Riposo, Via Santa Maria del Pianto, and via nuova Poggioreale, and is built upon the ruins of Alphonso II's Villa Poggio Reale.

The cemetery was begun during the Napoleonic occupation, and remodelled in 1836–1837. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
