Meritorious People Arches

The Municipality of Turin wanted to honour some of its illustrious citizens by collecting their mortal remains in some arches of the Monumental Cemetery of the town (Corso Novara 137). Nowadays, we can find the tombs of more or less important figures of Italian medical history.
