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.

Sources of Reference There are also some printed
publications that list
