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.

I did not create this cemetery as a geneaIogy roadmap.
Please do not create memorials for people who are not buried here. There were thousands of babies who died and were never buried in the cemetery. In Italy there is no embalming process to this day.

I visited Gallo Matese on 3 occasions, The first time I was looking for my family, the second time it was cold and raining, the third time it was my goal to document the entire cemetery and match them to the database I was fortunate to have to compare and add death dates to existing birth dates.
There have been many graves dug up and the bones all buried under the chapel. Now verticals are being used for space.
It is disappointing to know that our relatives are no longer remembered with the stones they once had.
I have taken approximately 500 photos. When no marker is found I use the cemetery photo. Unless otherwise noted all were born in Gallo or Vallelunga and died in Gallo Matese or Vallelunga.
Feel free to copy the photos no permission required.

In Italy women do not change their names which is why I did not give them their spouse name on their memorials. Sometimes it will say the husbands name but the woman's name remains as her birth name.

Thank you for being part of the Gallo community.
