OF FLORENCE'S ENGLISH CEMETERY, SATURDAY 23 APRIL, AT 4:00 P.M.
We shall share the beauty of the irises, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's
Casa Guidi Windows in English and Italian, and cucumber sandwiches. We are inviting all the Consuls and all the Assessors.
For
CGW I found on the Web in a Roman bookshop an 1851 translation into Italian which shall be arriving here next week, and plan to republish it with facing page, English and Italian, in the same way we already publish her
Sonnets from the Portuguese, William Morris type, handbound with our marbled paper.
In this way we shall be celebrating the Resurrection, the Renaissance, the Risorgimento, and also the splendid work restoring the garden and the tombs carried out by Romanian Roma families whom we teach the Alphabet.
This Spring is particularly lovely with the newly cleaned tombs and first the daffodils
then the irises
If you wish to donate to the Aureo Anello Association for the restoration of the 'English' Cemetery and its gardening you can do so by a cheque made out to 'Aureo Anello' and posted to 'English' Cemetery, Piazzale Donatello 38, 50132 Florence, Italy; or through the PayPal 'Donate' button below, which can also be used for the CDs, for the hand-bound limited edition books or for the sculptures of Elizabeth and Robert's
'Clasped Hands' or tondos with their portraits (Amalia Ciardi Duprè's sculpture can also be found at
http://www.florin.ms/amaliadupre.html), or some or all of these.
Sincerely,
Julia Bolton Holloway
