What if one of the most fascinating places in Perugia wasn’t a palace, a church, or a museum… but a cemetery?

Join us for a captivating virtual walking tour inside the Monumental Cemetery of Perugia, a place many locals consider a hidden open-air museum filled with art, history, and incredible life stories.

As we explore its elegant arcades, monumental tombs, and striking sculptures, we’ll uncover the surprising stories of the people who shaped the city. This is not just a cemetery — it’s a place where history, art, and powerful human stories come together.

Among the most famous figures connected to this site is Luisa Spagnoli, the visionary entrepreneur who created Baci Perugina, one of Italy’s most beloved chocolates, and built the fashion brand that still carries her name today. Her story of creativity, courage, and innovation is one of the most inspiring in Italian business history.

But she is only one of many fascinating personalities we’ll encounter. Along the way we’ll discover the stories of artists, noble families, entrepreneurs, and influential citizens whose lives shaped Perugia across generations.

Each monument reveals something unexpected — from dramatic sculptures and elaborate chapels to hidden symbols that tell stories of love, ambition, tragedy, and legacy.

Guided by expert storytelling, this virtual walk will reveal a side of Perugia that most visitors never see — a place where the past feels incredibly alive.

If you love hidden history, powerful stories, and discovering places few people know about, this unique virtual tour will surprise you.
