Translated from Portuguese Read in Portuguese

Argentine writer Mariana Enriquez has published a guidebook called "Alguém Caminha sobre o seu Túmulo – Minhas Viagens a Cemitérios" about her visits to cemeteries around the world. The book, originally published in 2014 and expanded in 2021, features 24 cemeteries Enriquez visited, including Staglieno in Genoa, which she first visited in 1997 and credits with sparking her fascination with cemeteries.

Enriquez, known for her horror writing, views cemeteries as places of rebirth and aesthetic beauty, and her book includes descriptions of cemeteries in cities such as New Orleans, Paris, and Havana. She has visited over 100 cemeteries and lists 11 more she hopes to visit before she dies, including the Necrópole do Cairo in Egypt.
