San Michele
In the 1800s, Napoleon's occupying forces decreed that Venetians be required to bury their dead on an island instead of mainland Venice. The result was San Michele, il cemetario. Today, Catholic Venetians are only allowed to remain in the ground for a few years until they are then removed to an ossuary.
