Endless little streets in the city of the dead.

Tomb of Liliana Crociati de Szaszak (1944-1970)

The most touching statue in the Cemetary, I think. The newly married 26 year old Lilianna was killed when avalanche struck her hotel in the Alps. The tomb was designed by her mother. When Lilianna's dog, Sabu died his bronze sauté was added. He is the lone dog in the Cemetary.

Evita

Eva Peron was born in The Pampas, rural Argentina in 1919, the youngest of 5 children. She moved to Buenos Aires when she was 15 to pursue a career in theatre. Married Colonel Juan Peron in 1944 who was elected President in 1946. For the next 6 years Evita (as she was fondly called) actively supported the unions speaking up for labour rights and championing women's suffrage. Cancer claimed her at 33 years.
