                                                                     Arezzzo Town   Over five years back I spent the Diwali Day in St. Severs Cemetery in France in the company of the   commemorative stones of 272 Indian soldiers  and non-combatants who died defending France during the World War-I. They were cremated/buried in this cemetery. They had spent over 100 years waiting for someone from their country to come and visit them. Italy has 3 World War-II cemeteries where Indian soldiers are lying commemorated - Arezzo, Flori and Acona.                  ...

    Last week I visited the Bateswar Group of over 200 temples in Morena district in Madhya Pradesh, India. These belong to the 8th - 10th century AD. These were lying in broken and delapidated condition till a few years back. Then the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) took upon itself to reorganise and put them back in shape under an initiative led by the ASI Bhopal region's Superintending Archaeologist Mr. K. K.   Muhammed.  As of now about 60 odd temples have been given a new life.  These two photographs show how the place was littered with broken stones aand how some of the renovated temples look today. Kudos to ASI.

  I visited this cemetery in 2018. The Monumental Cemetery of Turin - formerly known as General Cemetery - is the largest cemetery in the city of Turin and one of the first in Italy for the number of deceased.  In 1827 the mayor of Turin was the Marquis Tancredi Falletti of Barolo. He contributed to the project of the Monumental Cemetery with a large donation. The project was approved in the area called the "Half Moons" , the name of the beautiful park that stood there until 1706. The park was destroyed by French troops besieging Turin when they put their camp. The Monumental Cemetery of Turin was officially opened in November 1829 . Today it occupies an area of 600.000m/2 . The Cemetery is an open air museum. The "City of Silence" is home to celebrities and numerous works of art , such as Bistolfi, Calandra, Canonica, Fumagalli, Rubino and so on. Writers, statesmen, historians, politicians, artists, footballers, heroes are numerous characters who have traced ...
