The Monumental Cemetery was founded in 1277 and designed by Giovanni di Simone and completed in 1464. In it was the wonderful series of frescos, starting with the Triumph of Death, attributed to Buonamico Buffalmacco, continued with works by Spinello Aretino, of Antonio Veneziano, Andrea Florence, Taddeo Gaddi, Piero di Puccio and Benozzo Gozzoli and was disastrously damaged in the bombing in August 1944. The recovery of the frescoes showed up and were difficult to work tearing bring to light the traces of the original works of the artists mentioned above. Returned to their beauty, sinopie constitute the most valuable material of the Museum of Sinopie.
