In the Certosa cemetery of Bologna stands the Grave of Ghelli, a sepulchral monument completed in 1924 and designed in the Stile Liberty style—Italy's distinctive interpretation of Art Nouveau. Located within Cloister VIII of the cemetery grounds, this stele exemplifies the ornamental elegance and organic forms characteristic of early twentieth-century European modernism, when even funerary art embraced the flowing lines and decorative richness that defined the movement.
