History

It was inaugurated on May 1, 1784 following the reforms of Lorena that banned burial of a deceased in the church. The monumental cemetery, later expanded into the terrain of the ridge of the Terzollina stream, incorporated the Pilastro villa, in the 15th century belonged to the Davanzelli and then passed on to the Tassinari in 1786, and the villa the Almonds, already belonged to the Dominican fathers of San Marco. In 1881 the cemetery covered 18,000 m 2, while in 1906 it had already tripled and in 1931 it came to measure 54,000 m 2.

The care of the cemetery was entrusted to the secular fathers and from 1850 to 1890 passed to the Cappuccino fathers; It was then directed by an inspector.

Modern access is marked by a row of cypresses marking the monumental architecture of the place of silence, designed by architect Umberto Fabbrini. The grandeur of the valley that opens in front of the panoramic scenery of Mount Morello is so solemn that it deserves the definition of "Florence Valley of Josaphat".

The Bracco Chapel was built by Giovanni Michelucci between 1969 and 1970.
