Gentle Reader,
I. We have now more than 500 signatures to our petition, with a goal of 1000, asking UNESCO to consider Florence's English Cemetery as a World Heritage Site to be found and clicked on at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/471134975 and we shall be very grateful for more signatures. (We have the virtual one on the Web, and a real one at the Cemetery, both at more than 250 signatures.) Share this with your friends, your e-mail address book. It is as if we have a thermometer half full/half empty!
II. Next, we shall do this with the funds we raise.
III. And then come and visit Florence, especially the 'English' Cemetery, and see the beauty you will have restored.

The Swiss-owned, so-called 'English' Cemetery in Florence, Italy, is in great need of restoration. Famous poets, like Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Walter Savage Landor and Arthur Hugh Clough, and sculptors, like Hiram Powers and Joel T. Hart, are buried here. Also many who were against slavery. This weblog seeks to raise interest, participation, funds.
