Analog cemetery photos. 🩶

Have you ever seen an artist at work in a cemetery? I haven't... and I was enchanted!

Some months ago I had the pleasure to visit this spectacular cemetery in Venice. It is located on the island of San Michele, so you have to take a steamer to get there.

The atmosphere was incredible... a cemetery on water is unique in its kind, and I found tombstones there that tell moving stories.

"auf wiedersehen"

On one of them is written:

"In ever loving memory of our darling mother and sister who perished in the steamer disaster near the lido.

Venice, 19th march 1914."

A very serious accident occurred that day involving the steamer at 5pm, which was hit by the spur of a torpedo boat and sank in a very short time. Sixteen people died and there were numerous injuries. Among the victims were the two English women, Sarah and Janet Drake, who had arrived in Venice by train the day before the disaster. The gravestone was placed by the daughters and sisters of the victims, who decided to bury them in Venice.

let's start with one of my favorite photos; took this picture a few years ago in the monumental cemetery in milan.
