Further Distractions Il Cimitèro Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery) A few blocks east of Stazione Garibaldi, the Monumental Cemetery may appeal to romantic souls, happy to leave the bustle and grime of Milan's rat race and ponder Milan's dead. Much of the funerary architecture is rather fine, celebrating the passing of Milan's rich and famous, including Toscanini, novelists Alessandro Manzoni and Salvatore Quasimodo. The Palanti Chapel is more poignant, commemorating 800 Milanesi killed in Nazi concentration camps. A guidebook available at the entrance indicates the most notable monuments.
