Text of the page (random words):
his mother fanny holman hunt b9 and his father holman hunt sculpting the tomb for her we find links between algernon charles swinburne matthew arnold and leigh hunt writing epitaphs for walter savage landor a29 james lorimer graham e12 arthur hugh clough f8 and dr thomas southwood smith c3 we find that already frances trollope b85 and hiram powers b32 had worked on sculpting dante s commedia in cincinatti ohio before coming to lie close to each other in florence frances trollope b85 thomas southwood smith c3 and elizabeth barrett browning b8 were already within the pages of hengist horne s new spirit of the age before their clustering here for the cemetery crams together all our dividing categories the masters and servants of the social classes honouring the servants men and women and children particularly showing tenderness and love for the latter two by gender and age the professions military naval medical legal religious and nations in a marvelous cosmopolitanism yet this is work in progress and further study needs to be made of the military regiments which range from generals and admirals to a croatian deserter likewise of the armorial bearings often sculpted on the tombs the largest proportion of tombs are those of the british all classified as english anglais in the original directories and which we have specified as to whether english welsh scots irish jamaican barbadoes new zealand or australian followed by the swiss burials then the german then the american the italian next the russian while including those of many other countries france sweden denmark holland greece austria hungary poland latvia belgium india jamaica romania finland estonia egypt nubia and croazia this last of the austrian army deserter pauper it should be noted that in italy women keep their maiden names and do not assume that of their husband thus the swiss burial records in french and italian give the maiden not the married name of each deceased married woman they also give the maiden name of the mother of the persons they bury this permitting female genealogies to be studied for the british burials i am greatly indebted to the joint research carried out by anthony and diana webb for the swiss burials to maurizio bossi of the gabinetto vieusseux for the rumantsch swiss burials to peter michael caflisch for the american burials to jeffrey begeal and carolyn carpenter and for the russian burials to michael talalay and gino chelazzi also to countless other scholars and descendants who have generously given information and support our translator assunta d aloi has been my adam scriveyn the books of the greatest use have been hengist horne new spirit of the age thomas adolphus trollope what i remember the many publications of lilian whiting who used the materials of kate field the young american friend of the aged english walter savage landor and giuliana artom treves the golden ring the anglo florentines 1847 1862 these are now shelved in the mediatheca fioretta mazzei in the english cemetery our seven fold entries first present the tombs 1 coordinates 2 the identification letter and number for the tomb in that sector in space 3 the swiss acquisition number in time the name and inscription then 4 a paragraph in larger type presenting the gleanings from the web and the webbs the indefatigable couple who have so carefully researched english baptisms marriages and burials in tuscany and from descendants and other scholars who have found us on the web and through us their ancestal tombs filling out the above entries into a narration giving flesh and blood again to skeletons and dust giving the story that can be told of each tomb and of each burial of each person whether slave or noble woman or man child or adult 5 followed by the schedatura for the italian ministry of culture and tourism ministro dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo or mibac which used to be called the belle arti presenting its sculptor its description its measurements in italian and the tomb s inscription 6 next giving the documentation in the swiss archives in chronological order the entry and receipts in french the final 1877 cataloguing in italian between these the guildhall library entries by the anglican chaplains conducting the english speaking burials the newspaper obituaries and the maquay and horner diary entries 7 then a hundred years ago lieut col g s parry of eastbourne publishing in notes and queries 10 1908 his inscriptions at florence giving a listing of the then english tombs in the cemetery in some cases giving us the location of now lost or previously non identified tombs with the modern and left brain dominant denial of death cemeteries have become loathsome places of bitter reality strangely our burials are conducted with overwhelming grief by those whose families are atheist who openly manifest an unfathomable despair while those of faith have their belief and their memories which console and calm them cemeteries are archives in marble of a people s or as in our case of many peoples history these cemeteries of exiles are like a pearl necklace around the globe connecting with cemeteries in rome in lisbon in livorno in bagni di lucca in naples in india in so many places and pearls we recall are like poets tales isak dinesen claiming they are loveliness born out of disease italian cemeteries were secularized under napoleon florence s trespiano is a terrifying place racks upon racks of small boxes of human remains a place of ugliness far out of the city widows travelling to it with flowers in tears on the buses feeling so utterly lost but english cemeteries nestled about their country churches are beautiful where children play and mothers come with babies elizabeth barrett browning b8 recalling this even in italy whitesilence there s a verse he set in santa croce to her memory weep for an infant too young to weep much when death removed this mother stops the mirth today on women s faces when they walk with rosy children hanging on their gowns under the cloister to escape the sun that scorches in the piazza aurora leigh i 101 8 1857 she remembered how once tombs also surrounded churches in this catholic land such as the tombs now mostly cleared away in santa croce s cloister or those which once lay about the duomo square as george eiot describes in romola to so combine death with life rather than its denial is healing here in florence s swiss owned so called english cemetery filled with bones of so many nationalities who have countless stories to tell of outspokenness in the face of slavery and oppression and who are sometimes celebrated with sculptures of great beauty we have been enabled by the roma themselves for centuries slaves to restore the former garden to a loveliness to conserve the wrought and cast iron to clean the marble to create again an island of peaceableness in the chapters that follow we shall find particularly among the women the passionate espousal for the freeing of slaves from their bondage of children from crippling work in mines and factories of nations from oppression each cause in a sense mirroring women s own sense of their powerlessness among the treble voices those of elizabeth barrett browning b8 frances trollope b80 and mary somerville e29 among the bass those of theodore parker d108 richard hildreth d110 and thomas southwood smith c3 buried here are many who fought against napoleon on the peninsula at waterloo at trafalgar many who were friends of florence nightingale and at the crimea those who fought with lord byron and with giuseppe garibaldi amidst so many dead of terrible diseases we read of tuberculosis cholera typhus typhoid malaria syphilis diphtheria felling both adults and infants we have southwood smith c3 s clear appeal voiced in verse in leigh hunt s epitaph for fresh air and sunlight in the homes of the richer poor of happier years to come he had frances trollope b80 write michael armstrong factory boy and elizabeth barrett browning b8 the cry of the children which was translated into russian by michael dostoevsky feodor s brother to spread his teaching his granddaughter octavia hill whom he raised would continue his insights with her slum clearance work we benefit from their labours these chapters shall be as a canterbury tales
