Calcagno family burial monument at Staglieno Cemetery in Genoa, Italy. A bronze masterpiece statue lying on the steps, deposing a last flower on the grave; the personification of sorrow. Work of Adolfo Apolloni in 1904.

The way the fabric clings to her legs and overlaps the stairs, it’s absolutely amazing, wonderful work.of art ♥
Last month I got a bunch of amazing photos from the cemetery in Milan. Best cemetery ever in my experience
This is a masterpiece
We visit that cemetery in Genoa…amazing sculptures..throughout the cemetery..amazing..
That person was loved!
Such a sad sculpture but so moving
incredible – and 1904 – technologically mind blowing – like the Pieta , and equally brilliant in its capture of an emotional letting go
Look how her gown just flows down the steps. Magnificent!!
Absolutely incredible the way that dress appears to be flowing down the steps.
Grief expressed in a sculpture. I can feel it.
A beautiful creative sculpture expressing heartfelt sympathy….Wow!
Most beautiful cemetery I have ever visited was in San Juan Puerto Rico. The tombstones and the sculptures there are just amazing. But this is beautiful too
Captures the essence of and grieving of loss.
How very very beautiful and depicts my own sadness ❤️

Amazing Detail 😮
Beautiful work!
This is beautiful although we’re not in Italy I found myself at the cemetery visiting family and just sort of going very far back and noticing things the money people put into these things marble statues Angels glass gazebos if you’re not freaked up by cemeteries and it’s the daytime you should always wander back to the old section it’s wonderful but you’re going to find
This is amazing !!
Brilliant
Magnificent sculpture
Ooooft I bet that was a challenge! I would suspect that the bronze was created first, then the steps, as bronze shrinks markedly from the model, but not predictably.
Absolutely stunning
What an amazing piece!
