Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 7 Dec 2012
This picture was taken within the Catholic section of the cemetery. The memorial in the foreground caught my attention because of its carved stonework, but also by virtue of the fact that the inscription is wholly in Latin: PRAECLARIS VIRTUTIBUS PRAEDITA EMMA BRESCIANI ANNOS NATA XXXVI DIE XVI JULII MCMXX IN DOMINO QUIEVIT EUSEBIUM QUADRELLI VIRUM FILIOSQUE PERDOLENTES E SIDERIBUS BENIGNIS RESPICIENS OCULIS. ["Endowed with splendid virtues, Emma Bresciani, on 16 July 1920, at 36 years of age, rested in the Lord, gazing fondly down from the stars upon her grieving husband (Eusebio Quadrelli) and sons."]
