📖

Full description

The English Cemetery is the burial place of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning and holds a range of decorative tombs and sculpture. It lies about twenty minutes' walk from the Duomo and is now an island amid the ring road, which one reviewer called a beautiful oasis.

Opinions are mixed: some praise a well-kept resting place of notable figures, while others found it not well preserved and difficult to reach. Opening hours are tight, with a short morning window on Monday and closure on Saturday, so check before making the trip.
