The Italian Ministry of Culture has unveiled a new one-hour video dedicated to the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe that run across Italy.
Bringing together all 36 certified routes present in the country, the video offers a broad perspective on how these itineraries connect places, stories, and communities across Europe. This approach highlights the idea of a shared European heritage, while also emphasizing the role of these routes in promoting sustainable tourism and cooperation between regions.
One of the featured routes is the European Cemeteries Route, coordinated by the Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe (ASCE), which connects historic cemeteries as spaces of memory, art, and identity. In the video, the route is represented through several significant Italian cemeteries, including the Monumental Cemetery of Lavagna, the Monumental Cemetery of Mantua, the Certosa Monumental Cemetery in Bologna, the Monumental Cemetery of Verona, the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome, and the Verano Monumental Cemetery in Rome.
The European Cemeteries Route segment can be viewed from 31:38 onward.
