The Chapel of Risen Jesus
Into Laurentino Cemetery, as in every other urban and suburban cemetery of Rome, there is a ritual place able to welcome a lot of Roman citizens who every day go to visit their beloved. The Chapel of the Risen Jesus, with its circular structure, occupies an area of 220 square meters with about 140 seats, and is located near the main street to the cemetery. The roof and the masonry structures are covered with laminated copper tiles and slabs of Trani stone. Outdoor, there is a large churchyard of about 120 square meters where ceremonies take place. The square in front of the churchyard, of about 1200 square meters, is used as a parking area for the exclusive use of indoor and outdoor rites attendees.
The Garden of Angels
Inaugurated on January 4th, 2012, the "Garden of Angels" is a space expressly dedicated to unborn children (products of conception or foetuses). The area of about 600 square meters, is in front of the "Children’s Camp" and is symbolically guarded by two marble statues representing two Angels. The choice of the Angel underlies a widespread sense, not necessarily religious, which associates the image of childhood with that of angels, as the archetype of innocence and purity. The Garden of Angels welcomes those entitled to reside in every municipality of Rome, without any exclusion for those who do not belong to Laurentino’s municipality .
