Campo Verano, one of the cemeteries in Rome is a very vast one which is 80 hectares (= 800 000 m2)! The visit to this cemetery is a different experience because of its size and the medieval art. On 1st and 2nd November thousands visit this place to visit the tombs of their relatives or to pray for the dead (even if there aren't any relative).
