The Camposanto Monumentale once contained a large collection of Roman sculptures and sarcophagi, but now there are only 84 remaining. The walls were once covered in frescoes, the first were applied in 1360, the last about three centuries later. The "Stories of the Old Testament" by Benozzo Gozzoli (c. 15th century) were situated in the north gallery, while the south arcade was famous for the "Stories of the Genesis" by Piero di Puccio (c. late 15th century). The most remarkable fresco is "The Triumph of Death", a realistic work by Buonamico Buffalmacco. On 27 July 1944, incendiary bombs dropped by Allied aircraft set the roof of the building on fire and covered them in molten lead, all but destroying them. Since 1945, restoration works have been going on and now the Campo Santo has been brought back to its original state.
