Certosa / Patrimony

The monumental area of the Certosa covers over nine hectares of land with thousands of works of all sizes and styles: from simple engraved gravestones to grandiose noble chapels.

The storage facilities of the Museo Civico del Risorgimento contain numerous documents, photograph collections, sculptures and sketches relating to the cemetery. The institute also possesses a significant collection of books from the 19th and 20th centuries on sculpture and the history of European cemeteries. These may be consulted at the Library.

A significant portion of the documentation on the Certosa from the 19th and early 20th centuries is housed in the Historical Archives of the City of Bologna: Via Tartini 1, Bologna, ph. +39 051 500401 / asc@comune.bologna.it.

The Certosa Archives (Via della Certosa 18 - ph. +39 051 6150812 / 13 / 14) contain the burial deeds of all graves and the burial permits dating from 1900 to the present.
