Genoa, Italy. Tucked away in the hills just outside the city the Genoese bury their dead at the vast, monumental cemetery of Staglieno. But alongside the cemetery’s graves, through its arcades, galleries and foresty parts, all kinds of people work and wander. At Staglieno the everyday and eternal continuously face each other through mundane acts of living. Indeed, for a place that at first glance seems all about death, Staglieno is curiously alive.
