Monument to Caterina Campodonico, Marble tomb in Staglieno Cemetery, Italy
The marble monument depicts Caterina Campodonico standing with strings of hazelnuts and donuts, representing her life as a street vendor in Genoa.
Created by sculptor Lorenzo Orengo in 1881, this tomb was commissioned by Caterina herself using savings from decades of selling nuts at local markets.
The epitaph, written in Genoese dialect by poet G.B. Vigo, narrates the story of a working-class woman who earned her place among wealthy burials.
Located in the western lower portico of Staglieno Cemetery, the monument stands among numerous other nineteenth-century marble sculptures and mausoleums.
The statue displays remarkable detail in the subject's traditional attire, including braided hair, stone earrings, and a cross necklace against brocade clothing.
