A Cat, and A Dog at Staglione



This is The Star

Everyone wants to see the tomb of Mazzini. He has a very important role in the history of Italy. There was a guard at this tomb.

"The Beating Heart of Italy" 

Giuseppe Mazzini (Italian pronunciation: [dʒuˈzɛppe matˈtsiːni]; 22 June 1805 – 10 March 1872), nicknamed The Beating Heart of Italy,[1]was an Italian politicianjournalist and activist for the unification of Italy. His efforts helped bring about the independent and unified Italy[2] in place of the several separate states, many dominated by foreign powers that existed until the 19th century. He also helped define the modern European movement for popular democracy in a republican state.[citation needed]

Very sad.

Diver

This man must have been an old school diver of some sort. 

Soldiers

These had to be soldiers as they were all young men and they died in 1944 or 1945. They had no rank with their names, just their names. Perhaps they fought on the side of Mussolini...or , perhaps they were Resistance fighters. All of the flowers are fake. They have a tray with these flowers so you can add them to spruce up a grave. I wish there was a map or a book of some sort.
