Mantova Town Cemetery, National heritage cemetery in Mantua, Italy.

Mantova Town Cemetery is the city's main burial ground, entered from via Cremona near Borgo Angeli. Architect Ernesto Pirovano designed a monumental complex of galleries, chapels and tiered steps in Liberty style, begun in 1919; after 1928 the plan was simplified, and work resumed in 1937 and ended the following year.

Established in 1797, the cemetery marked a shift in burial practices when communities moved away from church graveyards toward dedicated municipal sites beyond city centers. This change reflected emerging ideas about public order and modern urban management.

The cemetery is known as the monumental cemetery of Borgo Angeli, after the neighbourhood on via Cremona where it stands. Its galleries, chapels and stepped terraces were designed in Liberty style by architect Ernesto Pirovano, whose project won the Reale di Architettura prize at the 1906 Milan International Exhibition. Among those buried here are harpist Clelia Gatti Aldrovandi, psychologist Roberto Ardigò, composer Lucio Campiani, cyclist Learco Guerra and racing driver Tazio Nuvolari.

The grounds feature gravel paths and underground passages that allow for walking exploration, with multiple entry points for access. Visitors should be prepared for uneven terrain and wear sturdy footwear.

Among the notable figures buried here are racing driver Tazio Nuvolari, psychologist Roberto Ardigò, harpist Clelia Gatti Aldrovandi and cyclist Learco Guerra. The cemetery also holds the parents of writer Ippolito Nievo, who disappeared in the sinking of the steamship Ercole in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
