@Ciell As one of who joined the group, I can say it is not the charm of the cemetery itself, but the particularities of the local culture and the history (many of the personalities are buried, often the texts on the funeral stones are real poems and the funeral stones themselves are cultural heritage). Just think to Campo Verano <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campo_Verano> and Protestant Cimitery <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_Cemetery,_Rome> (Keats, Shelley, Gramsci and many other) in Rome, Staglieno <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monumental_Cemetery_of_Staglieno> in Genoa, Merry Cimitery <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Cemetery> in Săpânța (Romania) etc.
