Italian physician and criminologist Cesare Lombroso is buried in a very simple tomb in one of the Meritorious people arches inside the Monumental Cemetery of Turin (3rd extension, Arch 56). The Italian inscription reads as follows: “CESARE LOMBROSO / 1835 – 1909 / IL SEGRETO DELLA PELLAGRA DEL DELITTO DEL GENIO / STRAPPANDO ALLA NATURA / INSEGNANDO NELL’ATENEO TORINESE / NUOVE VIE NELLA SCIENZA DELL’UOMO / APERSE AL MONDO / —— / QUESTO LUOGO GLI ASSEGNO’ UNANIME / IL CONSIGLIO DEL COMUNE / (4)”.
Near Lombroso other medical personalities are buried, such as Angelo Mosso and Luigi Rolando.
