About
The Monumental Cemetery of Antella, a locality in the municipality of Bagno a Ripoli, is an extremely interesting place from an artistic point of view, due to its particular history and grandeur. When Florence became the capital of Italy the local and Florentine nobility chose it as a burial place for their dead and had several chapels built and embellished by artists of the time. Prominent among them is the figure of Galileo Chini, the outstanding representative of the Italian Art Nouveau style. Numerous stained glass windows as well as ceramics and vases come from the Chini factory in Borgo san Lorenzo.
