Sculptor Giulio Monteverde died on 3 October 1917, just five days shy of his 80th birthday. After training in Genoa, Monteverde moved to Rome in 1865 where he spent the rest of his life. A teacher at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, Monteverde is known for his Romantic approach to academic principles. After establishing his reputation with works like his marble statue of Christopher Columbus as a youth (1870, Genoa), Monteverde continued to achieve success with monumental portraits like his statues of Benjamin Franklin, Victor Emmanuel II (Rovigo), and Vincenzo Bellini (1893, Catania).

Much later, men walking near Recoleta Cemetery reported an encounter with a young woman dressed completely in white. The most common version claims this woman would accompany them to a bar, get a chill then ask to borrow her date’s jacket. Next she would accidentally stain it with whatever they were drinking & take the jacket with her when they said goodnight.
The following day the man somehow contacts her mother to get the jacket back, & she explains that the young woman is already dead! In desperation, he goes to the cemetery & finds his jacket draped over the effigy. While none of the above has been confirmed, it makes for an interesting story… probably one of the most common urban legends in the world.
Fortunately some factual information about the rest of the family —also buried here— is available. Luz María’s father, Enrique Garcí
