This cemetery was established in 1855, as a consequence of another cholera epidemic. For some years this cemetery stood as a mere burial ground, without organization. Only in the 1870's it begun to receive monuments, becoming the favourite Oporto cemetery at the end of the 19th century. Its importance is similar to the Prado do Repouso.

The Verano (officially "Campo Verano Cemetery Monumental City") is the municipal cemetery and monumental center of Rome, located in the Tiburtino area, near  San Lorenzo and near the Basilica of San Lorenzo fuori le mura. It owes its name to the ancient field of  Verani, "gens senatoria" at the time of the Roman Republic.
