BETWEEN SUMPTUOUS CRYPTS AND LAZY CATS, THERE ARE WOMEN WHO TRANSGRESS THE INEXORABLE. ALIVE THAT SEEM DEAD, GHOSTS THAT CRY OUT FOR ATTENTION, MEET AT THE FAMOUS CEMETERY TO MAKE PEOPLE TALK. & NBSP;
THE WALLS OF THE RECOLETA CEMETERY THEY KEEP, LIKE THE TRUNK OF AN ETERNAL TRAVELER, ANECDOTES OF YESTERDAYS, MINIATURES OF CATHEDRALS AND, ABOVE ALL, EXTRAORDINARY STORIES MADE OF MARBLE. BETWEEN MAUSOLEUMS OF THE MOST DIVERSE STYLES, OPULENT CENOTAPHS AND UNDAUNTED SCULPTURES, PASSIONS AND REVENGES HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN IN THE TIMELESSNESS OF NEVER EVER. & NBSP;
THE NECROPOLIS FOUNDED IN 1822, IT HOUSES HUNDREDS OF PATRIOTIC ARTISTS, POLITICIANS, AND HEROES. HOWEVER, IF ONE WALKS THROUGH ITS CORRIDORS, HISTORY SOON BECOMES INTERTWINED WITH URBAN LEGEND. ACCORDING TO THE ACCOUNT, THE DAUGHTER OF THE NOVELIST EUGENIO CAMBACERES WAS BURIED DURING A CATALEPSY ATTACK AND, ON RISING, SEIZED WITH DESPAIR, HAD CARDIAC ARREST. THUS, HIS "SECOND DEATH" CAN BE SEEN AS A LANGUID STATUE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE FAMILY VAULT.
TO THIS GLOOMY VERSION OF SLEEPING BEAUTY, THEY ADD GHOST APPEARANCES, AND IN THIS CASE WOMEN ARE THE PROTAGONISTS AGAIN. "THE LADY IN WHITE" IS PERHAPS THE BEST KNOWN SPIRIT, BUT MANY CARETAKERS SWEAR THAT ON SOME NIGHTS NAPOLEON'S GRANDDAUGHTER, THE DAUGHTER OF COUNT ALEXANDRE WALEWSKI, IS ALSO DISTINGUISHED, CRYING IN THE ARMS OF HER GODMOTHER. & NBSP;
THE MYTHS AND TRUTHS OF THIS CEMETERY REVEAL A PAST OF GREATNESS AND INFAMY, & NBSP; WHILE BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN THE GLOOMY AND THE BEAUTIFUL, THE VIVID AND THE MORTUARY . TO DO THIS, JUST LOOK AT THE EVA PERÓN PANTHEON. ALWAYS FRESH FLOWERS SUGGEST THAT IN POPULAR IMAGINATION SHE IS STILL ALIVE. & NBSP;
