• Tomb of Julia Bentley and Benjamin Whitehead . Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno This tomb of tells a story of love and bonding beyond earthly life. Having arrived in Genoa in l1856 from the British Isles, Mr. and Mrs. Bentley-Whitehead settled at the Spianata di Castelletto, a place that offers a wonderful view of Genoa. Benjamin, a naval engineer, is portrayed next to tools of his trade, a vise, while the base of his statue depicts a steam engine, a symbol of his work in the era of the transition between sailing and the steam engine. Benjamin died in 1876; Julia, eleven years older than him, outlived him by twelve years. Despite their age difference, their bond seems to have been deep and enduring. The sculptures were commissioned by Julia herself, who left directions and money for their posthumous creation by sculptor Lorenzo Orengo. . . . . #cimiteromonumentaledistaglieno #staglieno #cimiteromonumentale #monumentalcemetery #sculptureart #sculpturegraveyard #stoneportrait #stonebeauty #artecimiteriale #stonegarden #graveyardstatues #cemetery_shots #cemeterysculpture #tombstone #sculturacimiteriale #cimiteridigenova
