Databases of Burials in the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome
There are two principal electronic databases of the people who have been buried in the Cemetery. They provide different types of information because they are based on different sources of data (leading occasionally to some discrepancies). If you are trying to trace an individual burial, it would be wise to consult both databases.

1. The Burial Database, compiled from the Cemetery’s own records  Click here

Search using the person’s surname (cognome), with or without the first name (nome). If unsuccessful, you can search by place of birth (luogo di nascità) or search all those of that nationality (cittadinanza). Another option is to use the approximate date of birth or date of death, if you know one or the other (go to the Cerca per data option).

Click on the surname(s) listed under Risultato and you will find details of the person and the location of the grave in the Cemetery.

2. The Grave Database, recording the graves visible in the Cemetery  Click here

This database records the physical data of all graves in the Cemetery as they existed in 1984-86. It was the result of an intensive survey directed by S.P.Q. Rahtz for the British School at Rome and the Swedish Institute in Rome. It records the location (using its own sequential numbering system), type, dimensions and inscription of each grave recorded at that period.

You can search by surname of the deceased, or their year of death or their nationality. You can also view a plan of all the graves in the Cemetery or in one of its zones.
