History and description

(File:Verano - Pincetto nuovo - Coemeterium Cyriacae 1280122.JPG|thumb|300px|Entrance to the catacombs of St. Ciriaca through Verano cemetery with the inscription Coemeterium Cyriacae)The Verano (officially the “Communal Monumental Cemetery of Campo Verano“) is located in the quartiere Tiburtino of Rome, near the Basilica di San Lorenzo fuori le mura. The name Verano refers to the ancient Roman Campo dei Verani that was located here. As evidenced by the existence of an earlier Roman necropolis dedicated to St. Ciriaca, the cemetery ground has been a burial place for at least twenty centuries. WEB, Catacomb of St. Lorenzo (or Ciriaca),www.catacombeditalia.va/content/archeologiasacra/en/catacombs/by-provinces/rome/catacomb-of-st-lorenzo.html, 2023-10-18, A modern cemetery was not established until the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy during 1807–1812, when the architect Giuseppe Valadier was commissioned for designs after the {{ill|Edict of Saint-Cloud|fr|Décret impérial sur les sépultures}} required burials to take place outside of the city walls.Touring Club Italiano, Collana Guida d’Italia, Roma, Ottava edizione, 1993, p. 740. {{ISBN|88-365-0508-2}}. Although the cemetery was consecrated in 1835, the works continued during the pontificates of Gregory XVI and Pius IX, under the direction of Virginio Vespignani who also built the cemetery church of Santa Maria della Misericordia (consecrated in 1860), along with the monumental entrance gate. The vast burial ground in an open-air museum setting is located on an undulating slope, dotted with majestic tombs in different styles, varying from Neoclassical architecture to Art Nouveau. Enamel funerary portraits of the deceased painted on lava by Filippo Severati are worth seeing.
