The Bonomini tomb, popularly known as the dog's tomb, is a sepulchral monument located in Brescia, on the Ronchi hills immediately north-east of the historic city centre, along via Panoramica, at the first hairpin bend after the entrance from via Filippo Turati. Built in 1860 to a design by Rodolfo Vantini to house the remains of Angelo Bonomini and his partner Giuseppe Simoni, benefactors of the Spedali Civili of Brescia, in the end it never welcomed the two bodies due to new municipal ordinances regarding burial regulations, which bound to public cemeteries.

Popular tradition therefore has it that only one dog was placed there, hence the usual name. The tomb is one of the most singular Brescian monuments of the nineteenth century and even today, being in a position clearly visible from the city, it plays a notable role in the landscape.
