Cimitero Flaminio, Municipal cemetery in Prima Porta district, Rome, Italy
Cimitero Flaminio is a municipal cemetery in the Prima Porta area of Rome, covering 140 hectares crossed by 37 km of internal roads. Burials are mainly in mound tombs, with numerous small buildings and semicircular constructions. A Catholic church dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel stands on the grounds, alongside a Jewish temple, a 1st-century BC Roman villa and the monument to Yugoslav partisans.
The site was already occupied in the 19th century by the Montebello cemetery. The modern Cimitero Flaminio was designed by architect Elena Luzzatto and consecrated in 1941. A Yugoslav partisans' monument by Ljubomir Denković and Sava Subotin was inaugurated on 22 September 1978, the fourth such memorial in Italy after Barletta, Gonars and Sansepolcro. In 2005 the Giardino dei ricordi, designed by Roberto Vannelli for the scattering of ashes, opened.
The cemetery is organized into separate sections for different faiths, allowing visitors to see how various religious communities coexist within this space. Walking through these areas, you notice how each section reflects its own customs and memorial traditions.
The cemetery lies outside the Grande Raccordo Anulare, between Via Flaminia and Via Tiberina; drivers leave the ring road at the Prima Porta exit. Inside, 37 km of roads carry vehicles and buses between the sections. The map at the entrances numbers the lots, with the Ossario at the centre of the semicircular sweep and the Crematorio to the left.
