Il Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno a Genova è il piu grande Museo di Scultura all’aperto in Europa. Li si puo vedere la pi bella collezione di sculture in marmo Italiano dalla meta dell’800 al meta del 900. Pero e quasi completamente trascurato. Genova non parte del “Grand Tour” d’Italia, inoltre i cimiteri raramente ottengono l’attenzione degli amanti dell’arte, storici dell’arte, o turisti, e quindi questo posto incredibile e quasi sconosciuto.



I tesori magnifici di Staglieno sono un enorme parte del nostro patrimonio culturale. L’American Friends of Italian Monumental Sculpture (AFIMS) si dedica a finanziare ed assistere il Comune di Genova nei suoi sforzi per preservare l’Arte e l’eredit artistica del Camposanto di Staglieno per l’educazione e la cultura delle generazioni contemporanee e future. Abbiamo già restaurati 15 capolavori, ma è necessario molto più lavoro. Scopri come la tua donazione pu contribuire a questa missione.

“... On either side, as one walks down the middle of the passage, are monuments, tombs, and sculptured figures that are exquisitely wrought and are full of grace and beauty. They are new and snowy; every outline is perfect, every feature guiltless of mutilation, flaw, or blemish; and therefore, to us these far-reaching ranks of bewitching forms are a hundred fold more lovely than the damaged and dingy statuary they have saved from the wreck of ancient art and set up in the galleries of Paris for the worship of the world.”

— Mark Twain, Innocents Abroad , 1869
