The tomb of Liliana Crociati de Szaszak is adorned with a life-size statue of the girl and her dog. Liliana was at a ski resort for her honeymoon at the age of 26 when an avalanche struck the hotel and killed her. The statue of Liliana in her wedding dress was created first, and the canine companion was added later when her dog died.
