The grave of the philosopher and Marxist theorist Antonioa Labriola (1843-1904), heavily inspired by ancient Roman burials, down to the lettering on the grave that is very reminiscent of what was popular some 2000 years earlier.
In the background you get a hint of a real Roman monument, that tower is part of the fortifications known as the Aurelian Walls, built in the 270s A.D. - which still can be seen all around (central) Rome today.
At the Protestant Cemetery in Rome, as it is popularly known. The name of the cemetery is actually Cimitero Acattolico, which means the Non-Catholic cemetery.

This is the grave of Maria Luisa Montesano, born Levi della Vida in 1882, who died in 1968. And it's like nothing else I've seen. So the grave is rather modern, but it incorporates Roman spolia [Wikipedia definition: a stone taken from an old structure and repurposed for new construction or decorative purposes.]. It's an ancient Roman cinerary urn on top, but with Montesano's name added. The frieze on the front comes from a Roman sarcophagus, and then there are some added elements from at least one statue and parts of columns are used both as decoration and as the lower name plaque.

The Protestant cemetery (and sometimes even the English cemetery) in Rome, now officially named Cimitero acattolico (that is 'the non-Catholic' cemetery). It has been the burial ground for non-Catholics (mostly foreigners who visited the city and died here) since at least 1738 (the date of the first known burial). Quite a lot of famous people are buried here, and it is quite a beautiful and green oasis, propped against the Aurelian walls - as can be seen to the far right.
The new official name reflects that not all here are Englishmen, nor Protestants - they just aren't (generally) Catholic.

One of the most touching burial monuments I have come across - the one the sculptor Ferdinand Seeboeck (1864-1953) made for his fiancée Elsbeth M. Wegener Passarge, who died 5th of June 1902. She is portrayed as sleeping on a bed, dressed as a bride. The flowers were there in her hand when I say her.

Taken at the older part of the Protestant cemetery in Rome. There you can see the pyramid of Cestius and the Aurelian walls.
The pyramid was built 18-12 B.C. for the magistrate Gaius Cestius (the burial inside the pyramid was plundered already in Antiquity).
The Aurelian walls were built later, 271-275 A.D., and incorporated the pyramid in its walls. The gate to the far left is the Porta San Paolo - in Antiquity known as Porta Ostiensis (being the gate to the important Via Ostiense, leading to Ostia).

La #PiramideCestia sulla #ViaOstiense, fu costruita tra il 18 e il 12 a.C. come tomba per #GaioCestioEpulone, un membro dei #SeptemviriEpulones (collegio religioso che si occupava di allestire banchetti pubblici), in calcestruzzo e mattoni rivestiti di lastre di #marmodiCarrara. Alta 36,40 metri con una base quadrata di circa 30 metri di lato, fu costruita in soli 330 giorni perché Gaio Cestio dispose espressamente nel suo testamento che gli eredi gli innalzassero il sepolcro piramidale entro tale termine, pena la perdita della ricca eredità, come ricorda l'iscrizione scolpita sul fianco orientale del monumento. Gli eredi si affrettarono ad eseguire la disposizione testamentaria, tanto che, sembra, avessero completato la costruzione con qualche giorno di anticipo. La forma si deve probabilmente alla volontà di emulazione conseguente al fatto che l'Egitto era divenuto provincia romana alcuni anni prima (30 a.C.). La resistenza strutturale del calcestruzzo ha permesso tuttavia di costruire la piramide romana con un angolo molto più acuto di quelle dell’Egitto. All’interno vi è un'unica camera sepolcrale di circa 6 metri x 4 coperta da una volta a botte e oggi completamente spoglia. Nel III secolo la piramide fu incorporata nelle #MuraAureliane diventandone un bastione mentre, ai suoi piedi, dal XVIII secolo si cominciò a seppellire gli stranieri non cattolici morti a Roma e il sito fu ufficializzato nel 1821 come #CimiterodegliInglesi (tra gli altri #JohnKeats, #PercyShelley e #AntonioGramsci).
The Piramide Cestia on the Via Ostiense, was built between 18 and 12 BC as a tomb for Gaius Cestius Dives, a member of Septemviri Epulones (religious corporation that was in charge of setting up public banquets), in concrete and bricks covered with slabs of marble from Carrara. 36.40 meters high with a square base of 30 meters on each side, it was built in just 330 days, because Gaius Cestius expressly stipulated in her will that the heirs had to built the pyramidal tomb within that period, or risk losing the rich heritage, as noted in the inscription carved on the eastern side of the monument. The heirs hastened to execute the testamentary disposition, so much so that, it seems, had completed construction few days before deadline. The shape is probably due to a desire for emulation consequent to the fact that Egypt became a Roman province a few years earlier (30 BC). The structural strength of concrete, however, allowed to build the Roman pyramid with a much more acute angle than those of Egypt. Inside there is a single burial chamber of about 6 meters x 4 covered by a barrel vault and now completely bare. In the third century the pyramid was incorporated into the Aurelian Walls becoming a bastion of it while, at his feet, from the eighteenth century, some well known non Catholics foreigners dead in Rome were buried there and the site was formalized in 1821 as the British Cemetery (among others John Keats, Percy Shelley and Antonio Gramsci).

The Protestant Cemetery (Italian: Cimitero protestante), officially called the Cimitero acattolico ("Non-Catholic Cemetery") and often referred to as the Cimitero degli Inglesi ("Englishmen's Cemetery") is a cemetery in Rome, located near Porta San Paolo alongside the Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-style pyramid built in 30 BC as a tomb and later incorporated into the section of the Aurelian Walls that borders the cemetery. Mediterranean cypress trees and other foliage in the cemetery cause it to mirror the more natural style of cemeteries seen in the lusher regions of northern Europe. As the name of the cemetery indicates, it is the final resting place of non-Catholics (not only Protestants or English people).

The earliest known burial is that of an Oxford student named Langton in 1738. The most famous graves are those of the English poets John Keats (1795–1821) and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). Keats died in Rome of tuberculosis. His epitaph, which does not mention him by name, is by his friends Joseph Severn and Charles Brown: "This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, Who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water." Shelley drowned off the Italian Riviera and was cremated on the shore near Viareggio. His ashes were interred in the Protestant Cemetery; his heart, which his friend Edward John Trelawny had snatched from the flames, was kept by his widow Mary Shelley until her death and buried with her in Bournemouth.

His ashes were interred in the Protestant Cemetery; his heart, which his friend Edward John Trelawny had snatched from the flames, was kept by his widow Mary Shelley until her death and buried with her in Bournemouth.

A description from Wikipedia:
The Protestant Cemetery (Italian: Cimitero protestante), officially called the Cimitero acattolico ("Non-Catholic Cemetery") and often referred to as the Cimitero degli Inglesi ("Englishmen's Cemetery") is a cemetery in Rome, located near Porta San Paolo alongside the Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-style pyramid built in 30 BC as a tomb and later incorporated into the section of the Aurelian Walls that borders the cemetery. Mediterranean cypress trees and other foliage in the cemetery cause it to mirror the more natural style of cemeteries seen in the lusher regions of northern Europe. As the name of the cemetery indicates, it is the final resting place of non-Catholics (not only Protestants or English people).
The earliest known burial is that of an Oxford student named Langton in 1738. The most famous graves are those of the English poets John Keats (1795–1821) and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). Keats died in Rome of tuberculosis. His epitaph, which does not mention him by name, is by his friends Joseph Severn and Charles Brown: "This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, Who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water."

My note: The cemetery is one of the most beautiful and peaceful cemeteries or parks I've ever had the fortune to spend a few hours in. All that was missing was a nice tea picnic.

One of the most touching burial monuments I have come across - the one the sculptor Ferdinand Seeboeck (1864-1953) made for his fiancée Elsbeth M. Wegener Passarge, who died 5th of June 1902. She is portrayed as sleeping on a bed, dressed as a bride. The flowers were there in her hand when I say her.

In the Protestant cemetery (and sometimes even the English cemetery) in Rome, now officially named Cimitero acattolico (that is 'the non-Catholic' cemetery) has been the burial ground for non-Catholics (mostly foreigners who visited the place and died there) since at least 1738 (the date of the first known burial - that of an Oxford student named Langton). Quite a lot of famous people are buried here, and it is quite an artistic and green oasis, propped against the Aurelian walls.
The new official name reflects that not all here are Englishmen, nor Protestants - they just aren't (generally) Catholic.

The burial of John Keats (1795-1821). The text on the stone doesn't actually mention his name but goes:
This grave
contains all that was Mortal,
of a
YOUNG ENGLISH POET
Who,
on his Death Bed
in the Bitterness of his Heart
at the Malicious Power of his Enemies
desired these words to be Engraven on his Tomb Stone
Here lies One
Whose name was writ in Water
Feb 24th 1821

And how about my hand and feet red polish, matching with the flowers.

Gustav Mahler - Symphony No.9 in D-major - IV, Adagio. Sehr langsam und noch zurückhaltend
“To put meaning in one's life may end in madness,
But life without meaning is the torture
Of restlessness and vague desire--
It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid.”
― Edgar Lee Masters, Spoon River Anthology
[I] Rome - "The Angel of the Pain"
Sepoltura degna di nota, quella dello scultore statunitense William Wetmore Story (1819-1895), sopra di cui è installata una celebre scultura in marmo e pietra realizzata dallo stesso Story per la morte della moglie Emelyn (1820-1895) e che ora accoglie i resti di entrambi.
La statua, chiamata "L'Angelo del Dolore", raffigura un angelo disteso sul sepolcro, gemente; l'artista morì poco dopo averla ultimata. L'osservatore è colpito dal grande realismo della scultura, mollemente abbandonata nella disperazione; la sua bellezza ha fatto il giro del mondo anche attraverso numerose copie, una delle quali impressa sulla cover del quinto album della band finlandese Nightwish.

Il "Cimitero acattolico" in Roma, un tempo detto "Cimitero degli stranieri", "Cimitero dei protestanti", o anche "Cimitero degli artisti e dei poeti", è da molti considerato uno dei più belli e suggestivi del mondo.
La zona dove sorge il Cimitero, fra Porta San Paolo e il Testaccio, ancora nel '700 e fino ai primi dell' '800 faceva parte dell'Agro romano. Essa era nota appunto come "i prati del popolo romano" e così viene indicata nella pianta della città del Nolli, del 1784, forse il primo documento che attesti ufficialmente il luogo dell'attuale "Cimitero dei protestanti".
Secondo la legislazione dello Stato Pontificio, nessun acattolico poteva essere sepolto in chiesa o in terra benedetta e le inumazioni dovevano aver luogo di notte, per non suscitare forse l'avversione e il fanatismo religioso del popolo e garantire l'incolumità di coloro che partecipavano al rito funebre.
Né mura né altro limite separavano le tombe dalla campagna circostante: ancora nel 1810, come attestano alcune cronache dell'epoca, le tombe venivano profanate da fanatici e da ubriachi. Nel 1817 i rappresentanti diplomatici di Prussia, Hannover e Russia si rivolsero al cardinale Consalvi, allora segretario di Stato pontificio, per ottenere il permesso di recingere, a proprie spese, il Cimitero. Benché contrario, il cardinale si dimostrò disposto a cedere un'area confinante dei "prati del popolo romano", che venne recintata a spese delle Autorità Pontifice: questa zona è indicata oggi come "zona vecchia", mentre la zona originaria, a ridosso della Piramide di Caio Cestio, è detta "parte antica". Quest'ultima fu delimitata solo nel 1824 da un fossato che costituì per mezzo secolo l'unica difesa dell'area cimiteriale.
Nel 1894, l'Ambasciata di Germania acquistò, anche a nome delle Colonie Estere Acattoliche, circa 4300 mq in aggiunta a quelli già esistenti per il Cimitero Protestante in Roma presso il Testaccio. L'area fu allora suddivisa in zona prima, zona seconda e zona terza, nella quale nel 1898 fu costruita una semplice cappella.

All'ombra della Piramide Cestia, accompagnati dalla mistica "Aria sulla quarta corda" di Bach (qui), riposano dal 1821 in una surreale e pacifica atmosfera, tra l'invidiabile indifferenza dei gatti che qui vivono, i resti mortali di poeti, artisti e non cattolici in generale di svariate nazionalita e religioni, la cui sepoltura all'interno delle mura della città era vietata dalle regole della Chiesa Cattolica.
Tra di essi il poeta inglese John Keats il cui epitaffio recita :
“Questa tomba contiene i resti mortali di un GIOVANE POETA INGLESE che, sul letto di morte, nell’amarezza del suo cuore, di fronte al potere maligno dei suoi nemici, volle che fossero incise queste parole sulla sua lapide: “Qui giace uno il cui nome fu scritto sull’acqua””.
Poco distante, una lastra marmorea, in risposta a questa frase recita:
“Keats! Se il tuo caro nome fu scritto sull'acqua, ogni goccia è caduta dal volto di chi ti piange.”
Tra gli altri: lo scultore William Story, autore dello straziante “Angelo del Dolore” sotto il quale è seppellito insieme alla moglie a cui è dedicata la tristissima scultura, il poeta beat Gregory Corso, Antonio Gramsci ed Emilio Gadda.
In a surreal and peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by uncaring cats who walk through the graves, and the “Air on the G string” by Bach (here) in the background rest since 1821 in this Protestant Cemetery located alongside the Pyramid of Cestius poets, artists and non-Catholics people from a variety of countries and different religions.
Among them the young english poet John Keats whose epitaph says : “This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, who on his death bed, in the bitterness of his heart, at the malicious power of his enemies, desired these words to be engraven on his tombstone: “Here lies one whose name was writ in water””. Near his grave another stone answers : “Keats!If your name was writ in water, each drop has fallen from some mourner's cheek”.
Among the others the sculptor William Story, author of the extraordinary “Angel of Grief” underneath wich he's buried with his wife whom he dedicated the sad sculpture to.

The earliest known burial is that of an Oxford student named Langton in 1738. The most famous graves are those of the English poets John Keats (1795–1821) and Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). Keats died in Rome of tuberculosis. His epitaph, which does not mention him by name, is by his friends Joseph Severn and Charles Brown: "This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, Who on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart, at the Malicious Power of his Enemies, Desired these Words to be engraven on his Tomb Stone: Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water." Shelley drowned off the Italian Riviera and was cremated on the shore near Viareggio. His ashes were interred in the Protestant Cemetery; his heart, which his friend Edward John Trelawny had snatched from the flames, was kept by his widow Mary Shelley until her death and buried with her in Bournemouth.

The Protestant Cemetery (Italian: Cimitero protestante), officially called the Cimitero acattolico ("Non-Catholic Cemetery") and often referred to as the Cimitero degli Inglesi ("Englishmen's Cemetery") is a cemetery in Rome, located near Porta San Paolo alongside the Pyramid of Cestius, a small-scale Egyptian-style pyramid built in 30 BC as a tomb and later incorporated into the section of the Aurelian Walls that borders the cemetery.

My note: The cemetery is one of the most beautiful and peaceful cemeteries or parks I've ever had the fortune to spend a few hours in. All that was missing was a nice tea picnic.

All'ombra della Piramide Cestia, accompagnati dalla mistica "Aria sulla quarta corda" di Bach (qui), riposano dal 1821 in una surreale e pacifica atmosfera, tra l'invidiabile indifferenza dei gatti che qui vivono, i resti mortali di poeti, artisti e non cattolici in generale di svariate nazionalita e religioni, la cui sepoltura all'interno delle mura della città era vietata dalle regole della Chiesa Cattolica.
Tra di essi il poeta inglese John Keats il cui epitaffio recita :
“Questa tomba contiene i resti mortali di un GIOVANE POETA INGLESE che, sul letto di morte, nell’amarezza del suo cuore, di fronte al potere maligno dei suoi nemici, volle che fossero incise queste parole sulla sua lapide: “Qui giace uno il cui nome fu scritto sull’acqua””.
Poco distante, una lastra marmorea, in risposta a questa frase recita:
“Keats! Se il tuo caro nome fu scritto sull'acqua, ogni goccia è caduta dal volto di chi ti piange.”
Tra gli altri: lo scultore William Story, autore dello straziante “Angelo del Dolore” sotto il quale è seppellito insieme alla moglie a cui è dedicata la tristissima scultura, il poeta beat Gregory Corso, Antonio Gramsci ed Emilio Gadda.
In a surreal and peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by uncaring cats who walk through the graves, and the “Air on the G string” by Bach (here) in the background rest since 1821 in this Protestant Cemetery located alongside the Pyramid of Cestius poets, artists and non-Catholics people from a variety of countries and different religions.
Among them the young english poet John Keats whose epitaph says : “This grave contains all that was mortal, of a YOUNG ENGLISH POET, who on his death bed, in the bitterness of his heart, at the malicious power of his enemies, desired these words to be engraven on his tombstone: “Here lies one whose name was writ in water””. Near his grave another stone answers : “Keats!If your name was writ in water, each drop has fallen from some mourner's cheek”.
Among the others the sculptor William Story, author of the extraordinary “Angel of Grief” underneath wich he's buried with his wife whom he dedicated the sad sculpture to.
This Grave
contains all that was Mortal
of a
Young English Poet
Who
on his Death Bed, in the Bitterness of his Heart
at the Malicious Power of his Enemies
Desired
these Words to be
engraven on his Tomb Stone:
Here lies One
Whose Name was writ in Water.
