Cemeteries as Heritage Monument
by Michela Rossi

	Cemeteries are, first of all, heritage monuments. In fact, death constitutes an important matter for each individual’s social life; it is expressed by figuration and symbols, and according to religious beliefs, each culture develops forms and rituals closely related to each other. The anthropologists identify cultures by the treatment given to corpses, in which many funeral artefacts and funerary outfits are involved.

La Villetta, the Main Cemetery in Parma
by Michela Rossi

La Villetta Cemetery is the main funerary ground in Parma and it represents one of the most valuable monuments of the city. The cemetery is characterized by many historically rich artefacts, owning a great amount of valuable local documentation collected from the 19^th century throughout the 20^th century.

A Cemetery Information System
by Cecilia Tedeschi

	Cemeteries are complex structures, with an ambiguous definition between urban and architectural scale. This makes their architectural survey and information plotting difficult. GIS (Geographic Information Systems) are the best available software to visually simplify the complex relationship between these miniature cities and the architecture.
