If you wonder where Venetians bury their dead, head to San Michele cemetery, an island exclusively dedicated to graves and tombstones, and a beautiful, graceful place to visit or be buried.
On an early morning boat to San Michele island, at the last stop before the cemetery, several elderly people with bouquets of flowers came on board. After disembarking, we entered a rather empty cemetery in the early morning sun just as it opened. The apparently perfect anthithesis of crowded Venice, this is an island of peace, a huge, quiet city park. Without a particular plan in mind, I started wandering around the cemetery grounds, just following my instinct. I saw impressive family graves, stately, important, some with beautiful names, or small black and white pictures, flowers real and fake, graceful statues decorating tombs, but also small tombstones with children's toys, for a boy died at the age of 6. In other sections, I saw the seemingly endless rows of ossuaries, walls with several floors of tombs.
