Love this one from 1947, the grave of Maria Teresa who died aged 37 in Milano. With her cheery wave she looks like a volunteer in a conjurer’s levitation trick, rather than heading off as a resurrected soul.
And a final visit to Staglieno, for a wee while at least.
While his vast tomb wouldn’t look out of place on a certain street in Edinburgh, I have been able to find out nothing about Giorgio Ottone or the source of his obvious great wealth, and this is no family mausoleum, he’s the only one in there.
