Covering an area of more than a square kilometre, it is one of the largest cemeteries in Europe. History The design of the cemetery of the City of Genoa dates back to Napoleon s Edict of Saint Cloud from 1804, when he forbade burials in churches and towns. The original project was approved in 1835 by the City s architect Carlo Barabino 1768 1835 . However, he died the same year as a result of the cholera epidemic that struck the city and the project passed to his assistant and pupil Giovanni Battista Resasco 1798 1871 . Part of the south eastern hillside of Staglieno was acquired for the cemetery. The site of the Villa Vaccarezza was chosen as the most suitable, being both sparsely populated and close to the centre of the city. Work began in 1844 and it was was opened on 2 January 1851. On that day there were four burials. Over time there were several extensions and the cemetery now includes sections for an English cemetery, a Protestant one and a Jewish one.
