About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The cemetery, containing one Commonwealth burial of the First World War, is known as "Il Cimitero medievale" and is adjacent to the Church of San Lorenzo. It can only be reached on foot by following many steep stairways through narrow streets. Visitors can enter the village from Torre Capitolare Ancient Door then go along Via Capellini where there is an entrance to the cemetery via some stairs. Follow the sign "Per il Castello".
