In the US, earthen burials last an average of 150 years AFTER the most recent interment; before the land may be (ethically) re-purposed. I learned in mortuary school that if you want "forever" (yeah, right), be interred in a cemetery that has celebrities. Today's church cemeteries are tomorrow's shopping centers. EVERYTHING in life (and death) is temporary. I don't feel this cemetery is neglected; it's just forgotten. Thanks for the tour. It's a stark reminder at how transitory life is.

i used to go in poggioreale cemetery with my mom to visit my grandpa and other relatives (mom passed away on 25th of december last year sadly) and she always told me that the monumental cemetery (there are several in Poggioreale and limit areas) has always been in a state of decays for years. My grandpa passed away about 35 years ago and the cemetery was already in bad state. The monumental cemetery also """"houses""" tombs of 1700-1800 and prior
You should see the state of many abandoned and seriously neglected mausoleums and crypts in the US, especially in the southern states, how is it allowed to get like this in supposed 1st world, wealthy countries? Just heartbreaking.
Major props to you for not censoring every single bone and all! I see these other grave tour channels use it as clickbait and then just blur the whole thing out and then talk for 10 mins bout why they didn’t show it or what they thought. This basically helps us to see what the bones and all look like and if we see any in our own tours to not be scared by it. Sure a little unnerving but gotta keep remembering that that is what our remains are after a while.
"A while"? That's an understatement, LMAO!!! Most of the oldest bodies in intact mausoleums seem to be from between 1880 and 1910, so the collapsed ones are probably from around that time or older. That gives us a birth range of anywhere between 1790 to 1910 for those bones. NOBODY remembers anyone from 1790 unless they were an important historical figure. That's just called the passage of time. We're all eventually forgotten on this Earth and these collapses are direct results of no one being around to look after these long-gone people.
I get so excited when you upload 😊 Being from America and a life long lover of cemeteries, it's so amazing seeing ones that I'd never get to see over here.
Thanks again for these great videos Dan. Adult bones are sad enough but little children's bones are pitiful. I hope Italian people watch your videos and are moved enough to spur the local authorities on to do more.
When archaeologists are excavating a site that’s thousands of years old. Then come across a burial spot and all the things they use to bury the dead with for the “afterlife”. People watch and are amazed in the findings. But everyone cries how disgusting the exposure of the more recent dead is to show.
I’m from there I live about 10km from there, and let me tell you our local and state government is hopeless and corrupt af, the whole public infrastructures are outdated and need maintenance/replacement.
@@ryanbarker5217 Says the murican ..think to the tons of homeless people you have in your country before to denigrate others. Also this is South Italy and it is way worse than other parts of the country.
From someone that's worked in the industry, in America, this is actually insane. The construction and work it took to make a place like that, and seeing nature taking it back is incredible. Let alone all the bones and vandalism. 🤯
Thats exactly what they are. Many people believed the closer to a place of worship you were buried, the easier it was to get to heaven. When space ran out near those places noble families would be allowed to build their own chapels to be buried in.
Awsome tour. When bodies are interred above ground, this WILL eventually happen. Mausoleum's do NOT last forever. They will fall apart, don't expect family members who never knew you many years down the road to take care of expensive repairs for something they will never use. The living need money, the dead don't eat, pay bills, drive cars, need doctors, have chirlden to cloth and educate. I know in some places this is how its done, but it is what it is and will last only so long.
@@teresayates8274 the question is who actually runs the cemetery !…. This never would have happened if this was run by a religious order ( Catholic Church).

@@sparringa exactly. This kind of stuff is taken care of through tax dollars. In my experience, it’s usually the “religious” who complain the most about taxes. Maybe I’m just biased as an American 🤔
Amazing series! Thank you for taking us along. I would never have imagined something like this existed. It’s funny how after seeing so many bones and shrouds and open graves I just started getting accustomed to it. This was the craziest cemetery I’ve ever seen! Great job Dan.
Dan, I've been following you for almost 2 yrs now, I don't comment as much as I should but I enjoy your channel a lot..I' m always amazed where you'll end up especially in this cemetery, watch out for snakes..Eww..Great video as always..Take Care 💛
That shrouded knee creeped me out too! You've certainly got a lot more courage than I do; I don't think I'd have the nerve to go in there alone, that's for sure. VERY cool video! Thanks for sharing it.
I googled the name on the first readable tomb (minute 0:46, Alfredo Jannitti Piromallo) and it turned out that he was a jurist. Some of his yellowed books are on Amazon : D
I have seen things I have never seen before in these videos! What gets me is there’s seems no urgency by anyone to fix what is obviously been left in ruins for quite a long time. Enjoyed the video!👍🏼
In many cases the family migrated to other regions or countries, in other cases it is needed a license to make repairs, pay for it, buy the materials and pay someone to repair. Some families don't have the money for it. There's also a lot of vandalism.
Was binge-watching them back to back; this must be my favorite. Like you said, it looks like a city! Also, it's really obvious how these mausoleum practices have influenced American ones via ( i presume )the Italian community. These are really the og mauso's. cool!
I've been following your videos on this fascinating cemetery. Even though it's unkempt in many places, it still holds a magical eerie quality. Be careful if you plan to return. Take a companion for safety and some Zyrtec for allergies! Your posts are amazing and teach us a lot about European burial customs, which are so different from the USA. I was born and raised in Mexico and came to the States when I was twelve. The cemeteries there, especially in the old colonial cities like Guadalajara where I was born, follow the European style of burial in vaults,crypts and catacombs, and under church floors. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Cheers!
Another macarbre, haunting & jarringly fascinating video mate! Don't put yourself in danger, but I'd really like to see what's down those stairs behind the green gate! I really would! I kinda laughed when you said they look like shops! Trying not to imagine people scurrying back & forth, looking for their particular shop. "Oh yeah, just looking for a shop to buy some bone broth?" "Most shops here should have what you need!". "Right thanks." "What about you; what are you looking for then?" "Oh, I'm just looking for some dried flowers, & somewhere to sleep." "Aha, well the dried flowers aren't hard to find but somewhere to sleep is very expensive; it's gonna cost you your life!" Sorry, I couldn't resist that rather sickening dark attempt at inappropriate humour! Bur really, the absolute enormous expense to those left behind to create these magnificent 'mansions for the dead' seems almost like a competition of 'who's got the biggest, nicest mausoleum'. But then we see some of these palaces deteriorate, decay, rot & fall apart as badly as their occupants, & be almost as awful a sight to see. It seems like a bit of a joke anyway But I guess, maybe a lot of the worst ones may be where there are no family members left, & the last of their bloodline has gone, I don't know. Vents on the ground to ventilate the tombs below? Is that really necessary? - Or would that be for the loved ones visiting their ancestors' remains?
Those stairs look dark. Need flash light. Interesting. Yes, explore. Wow. That pic is unbelievable where it collapsed. Best to take a friend if exploring those dark stairs.
10:56 Oh the design on that door is brilliant. The inverted torches are a nod to Thanatos, or in this case, Mors, his Roman counterpart. He represented a peaceful death in Greek-Roman mythology.
Thanks for sharing. This is very reminiscent of a cemetery I visited in Portugal a couple of years ago. I was told it's the family's responsibility to upkeep, so when time goes on a long time, this is what happens.
This was an awesome series - thank you for braving bones, snakes, and angry locals to film it! But please do not come back here and try to climb down those rickety steps into the collapsing vaults. It's just too dangerous!
Great video, thank you. A mausoleum is a permanent, free-standing structure designed to contain a full casket. Mausoleums range in size, style, and appearance to accommodate single caskets or multiple caskets. A columbarium is a permanent structure with recessed niches to respectfully store cremation urns.
Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground--because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.". That verse keeps running through my head watching him walk through this city of death.
De stad Napels heeft blijkbaar andere katjes te geselen dan de laatste rustplaats van vele te onderhouden dit gezegd zijnde zeer interessante video kijk uit naar meer
4:48 “I don’t know which is the way out” 👏🏻🤣 There are two arrowed signs on the walls, saying “Uscita”. Take a note, for future reference, “Uscita” means “Exit” 😬
I enjoy wandering amongst the gravestones here in the UK. And my other hafl thinks I am crazy! But this video series shows much better cemeteries to see and explore. And this one is sure very interesting! Especially a mazy one like this one!!!!
Never have seen such a huge area (Necropolis in Italy to honor past family loved ones. ) Also would be terrifeid to spend a night in there. Some of the buildings which were looked into were beyond creepy.....( do not go into gut feeling) ..,.Bones being exposed out in the weather was sorrowful and creepy... ! Good video!
This cemetery’s crypts look very old and some look like they are about to colapse! The structures look like houses and makes it look like a little town. Beautiful and peaceful scenery.
You would think the various parishes would adopt sections of the cemetery and help to keep it clean and maintained. Let's face it. after awhile the family all dies and there is no one to care for the crypts any more. I know I would help to keep the place clean. Just my two cents.
The super rich Genovese family's from the 17th, 18th and 19th century are gone. Their promise mausoleum are decaying. No grounds keepers, no families left. The walls crumble and caskets and what's left falls out. Though ornate and beautiful, in this modern world they are crumbling.
Wow, I just found your channel and I’m pretty obsessed. There’s something fascinating and terrifying about death and time. I think I might start a similar channel exploring Brazil’s cemeteries too 👀
Thanks for this great series of this place! I guess they don't have perpetual care there, otherwise the graves wouldn't be falling apart with bodies exposed everywhere. Places like this is why I'm being cremated and scattered at sea!
It's very beautiful, even in its decay. I can only imagine how scary it must be to walk through there at night, when the doorways are dark and the shadows are long! (My imagination is probably more frightening than anything the dead could do to me.) ☠
Loving your channel yes i would love you to go back and have a wonder down them stairs its really sad to see the open coffins especially the childrens x ❤
WOW ! I've been following your series in Naples and all I can say is WOW. It has got to be the biggest necropolis in Europe. That cemetery is awesome. Creepy, but awesome. There seems to be an Italian tradition of crypt burial because I noticed that Italian cemeteries here in the US have a lot of private mausoleums as compared to other nationalities. That place is a testament to the old Italian saying of "See Naples and Die".
It's pretty sad to see such a huge, amazing, historical place in such disrepair. The entire place needs a good renovation, but I suppose no one is going to fund such a project and left to collapse into ruin.
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
The disrepair is one thing, but I love that it's not all covered with graffiti. People clearly respect this place enough to at least keep it clean.
But there is still vandalism and looting😢
And there you have it! No matter how much you achieved in life; within a couple of generations you're a forgotten box of bits.
It kind of reassures me somehow. Gives me peace, not sure why.

Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your bread, until you return to the ground--because out of it were you taken. For dust you are, and to dust you shall return.". That verse keeps running through my head watching him walk through this city of death.
De stad Napels heeft blijkbaar andere katjes te geselen dan de laatste rustplaats van vele te onderhouden dit gezegd zijnde zeer interessante video kijk uit naar meer
4:48 “I don’t know which is the way out” 👏🏻🤣
There are two arrowed signs on the walls, saying “Uscita”. Take a note, for future reference, “Uscita” means “Exit” 😬
Quand on visite un pays on apprend au moins un minimum de la langue
I enjoy wandering amongst the gravestones here in the UK. And my other hafl thinks I am crazy! But this video series shows much better cemeteries to see and explore. And this one is sure very interesting! Especially a mazy one like this one!!!!
That place is an amazing maze.❤
You for sure have put this cemetery on a map for me. I'll for sure go an have a visit at some point.
thanks for an amazing tour
You’re welcome
Wow,definitely one of the creepiest places I've ever seen,like a town of the dead !!
Exactly! The term "necropolis" is from the Greek, necro = dead . polis=city.
Vous êtes vite effrayé
Never have seen such a huge area (Necropolis in Italy to honor past family loved ones. ) Also would be terrifeid to spend a night in there. Some of the buildings which were looked into were beyond creepy.....( do not go into gut feeling) ..,.Bones being exposed out in the weather was sorrowful and creepy... ! Good video!
Fascinating tour of the graveyard, amazing to see all the coffins bursting open spilling their contents.
This cemetery’s crypts look very old and some look like they are about to colapse! The structures look like houses and makes it look like a little town. Beautiful and peaceful scenery.
You would think the various parishes would adopt sections of the cemetery and help to keep it clean and maintained. Let's face it. after awhile the family all dies and there is no one to care for the crypts any more. I know I would help to keep the place clean. Just my two cents.
Wow What an adventure I will never get to see something like that It seemed like we were right there with you Thanks Looking forward to more videos
Some beautiful and well maintained, some nasty and abandoned -- sort of like the cities of the living. All in all, a lovely, quiet place to rot in.
The super rich Genovese family's from the 17th, 18th and 19th century are gone. Their promise mausoleum are decaying. No grounds keepers, no families left. The walls crumble and caskets and what's left falls out. Though ornate and beautiful, in this modern world they are crumbling.
Very sad.
I'm glad evry time you upload. Then I know you are ok. Seems like anything can happen in that cemetery.
What an amazing place.
So beautiful, so sad it’s all crumbling.
Never been to Italy. It’s impressive
Wow, I just found your channel and I’m pretty obsessed. There’s something fascinating and terrifying about death and time. I think I might start a similar channel exploring Brazil’s cemeteries too 👀
Go for it! You've got some great cemeteries over there
wow its intresting to see the way of cemetery is build
it's both beautiful and shocking.
Amazing film - thankyou 😊
What a surreal place. Beautiful and eerie.
How does anyone find their way out of there? Looks very complicated to maneuver around those tight spaces.
Thanks for this great series of this place! I guess they don't have perpetual care there, otherwise the graves wouldn't be falling apart with bodies exposed everywhere. Places like this is why I'm being cremated and scattered at sea!
This cemetery is absolutely bizarre. There are crypts larger than some houses and they are presented like real streets. Truly a City of the Dead.
I love this channel
It does look like alley ways with shops! That place is crazy. As much as i would like to see inside those places, please don’t put yourself in danger.
So beautiful. If I were you I’d go in whenever you can and remember to pray for the deceased.
Thanks Dan so sad to see those poor soles bones left out in the open, incredible place
I feel bad for the families whose loved ones are in such a place! 😢
What a shame its gone to ruin , its actually quite beautiful 😢
@@TJSJAJCJ1 So sad.
It's very beautiful, even in its decay. I can only imagine how scary it must be to walk through there at night, when the doorways are dark and the shadows are long! (My imagination is probably more frightening than anything the dead could do to me.) ☠
Loving your channel yes i would love you to go back and have a wonder down them stairs its really sad to see the open coffins especially the childrens x ❤
Thank you 🎉 So interesting😮
OMG!! How bizarre and sad to see 😢 ❤ tfs
WOW ! I've been following your series in Naples and all I can say is WOW. It has got to be the biggest necropolis in Europe. That cemetery is awesome. Creepy, but awesome. There seems to be an Italian tradition of crypt burial because I noticed that Italian cemeteries here in the US have a lot of private mausoleums as compared to other nationalities. That place is a testament to the old Italian saying of "See Naples and Die".
It's pretty sad to see such a huge, amazing, historical place in such disrepair. The entire place needs a good renovation, but I suppose no one is going to fund such a project and left to collapse into ruin.
