You can learn a lot about a place by visiting cemeteries. Art, culture, society, religion... You name it. When coming across this cemetery we decided we wanted to visit it within seconds.

I dropped by on a Saturday, asking for a tour after reading on Google that it is recommended to join one. I was asked to come back tomorrow. After a quick stroll (which further intrigued my interest) I went home to come back the following day. The next day a young woman greeted us and gave us a free tour in English. She didn't mind that we were just two people. She showed us around and told us about the history of the cemetery and how it is connected with art and Cagliari's citizens. She told us about the tragedy of little Efisino, the sad destiny of two early pioneers of Sardignias feminism and the mysterious disappearance of one of Italy's famous sculptors - amongst many other things. Also she advised us on how to best handle the gulls that use the cemetery as a breeding place and can become quite defensive of their young. A survival skill that I'm sure will come in useful, sooner or later. 🐤 Thank you again for this amazing (free!!) tour! ❤️

The graveyard itself is mesmerising. It lies within walking distance of the city center, yet offers a unique calmness, that stands in stark contrast with the buzzing city life. When visiting you can feel the urgency of restoration. As a mere visitor all I can say is that I hope that there will be ways of funding the restoration and preservation of this place. Letting it fall apart would be a huge loss, not only to Sardignia, but to...

Era da tanto che non tornavo in questo cimitero da turista. Ci sono tornata per mostrarlo a una persona non del luogo e che dire? Ci sono rimasta davvero male. Il cimitero di per sé meriterebbe tantissimo, è colmo di belle opere e racchiude tantissima storia.

Ricordavo che già da tempo, da quando ho partecipato per l'iniziativa dei Monumenti Aperti, qualche zona non fosse proprio ben messa. A oggi, la situazione è ancora peggio. Già dalla facciata il cimitero non si presenta bene, con le mura tutte sgretolate e i calcinacci per terra. All'interno, ci sono parti del cimitero completamente abbandonate, dove le piante la fanno da padrone, senza nessun controllo. Per non parlare di tutte le tombe a pezzi. Nulla si può dire delle cappelle, anch'esse in brutte condizioni ma che penso siano competenza dei privati. Fa male invece vedere le bellissime statue che versano in condizioni sempre peggiori, ricoperte di polvere. All'entrata del cimitero sono presenti QR code per leggere le spiegazioni delle opere, peccato che poi vicino alle tombe non ci sia nulla quindi perde tutto il suo senso.

Inoltre nel cimitero ormai la fanno da padrone anche i gatti: nulla da dire, ci piacciono i gatti e anche tanto, e da quanto mi pare di aver capito esiste una colonia felina. Peccato che la condizione generale del cimitero e il numero di gatti esorbitante, non faccia una buona impressione - ci sono anche cuccioli, segno che comunque non si cerca di tenere sotto controllo il numero.

Vorrei poi segnalare il fatto che bisogna controllare meglio chi entra nel cimitero e si occupa di questi gatti; ci stavamo avvicinando a un gruppo di loro che mangiava, per vederli, ma senza rompergli le scatole. Eravamo ancora abbastanza lontani, quando due donne che gli davano da mangiare hanno iniziato a lamentarsi rumorosamente di noi - non c'era nessun altro - dicendo che c'era gente che rompeva le palle, con tono incazzato e parolacce annesse. Mah. Ci siamo spostati mentre una dell due veniva minacciosamente...

Che delusione. Andato in mattinata oggi, dopo tanti anni che lo volevo visitare. Un gioiello senza nessun brillante. Appena arrivati, mi sono recato all'ufficio informazione: che non offre nessun tipo.. neanche una misera guida stampata. Esiste una guida ma era già partita.. Sarebbe ideale sapere gli orari. Ok nessun problema, ci possiamo arrangiare o così pensavo... Passato il cancello ti trovi in una distesa di totale abbandono, che tristezza. E meno male che vieni descritto da Google come un art gallery a cielo aperto! Nessun tipo di informazioni, nessuna tipo di indicazione stradale con i punti d'interesse.. Una desolazione totale. Mentre ci arrimpicavamo per le scalinate per vedere le cappelle di famiglia: molte delle quali sono in totale abbandono, vediamo sopra di noi stormi di gabbiani: consiglio portatevi un elmetto da lavoro e state attenti, sono molto aggressivi. Se il nostro sindaco di Cagliari vuole creare una città turistica; ma ormai sappiamo che è solo uno slogan usato da tutti i sindaci prima di lui, consiglio che si faccia un giro per il cimitero, munumentale in desolazione, per capire in che stato è Cagliari. Non penso che ci...

The Monumental Cemetery of Bonaria lies on the homonymous hill. The cemetery opened in 1829 and boasts sculptures of Sardinian artists as well as from the rest of Italy, who were active from the middle of the 19th to the early 20th century. The styles vary from the Neoclassical, Realism to the Symbolism and Art Nouveau.

A fascinating way to spend a morning in Cagliari, avoiding the midday heat (it closes most days at 1300). Some huge family tombs up high, looking down on those below. Docile cats snooze away and lizards scurry between the graves. An insight into the Sardinian way of life and death. Free entry.
