Luigi Rolando's tomb

Italian anatomist Luigi Rolando is buried in a very simple tomb in one of the Meritorious people arches inside the Monumental Cemetery of Turin (3rd extension, Arch 56). The Italian inscription reads as follows: "7 GIUGNO 1905 / - / AUSPICE / LA R. ACCADEMIA DI MEDICINA / PER CURA DEL PATRIO MUNICIPIO / I RESTI / DEL SOMMO ANATOMICO TORINESE / LUIGI ROLANDO / FURONO QUI TRASPORTATI / DAL LUOGO IN CUI PER 73 ANNI / LI CONSERVO' LA PIETA' / DEI SUOI AMMIRATORI / -- / N. 1773 - M. 1831".

Near Rolando other medical personalities are buried, such as Cesare Lombroso and Angelo Mosso.
