Help Save The English Cemetery in Florence The English Cemetery in Florence is famous throughout the world for the beauty of its monuments, and the fame of its residents. Hiram Powers, the noted American sculptor is buried there, as are Arthur Hugh Clough and Walter Savage Landor. Elizabeth Barrett Browning is also buried in the cemetery, in a most striking tomb designed by Lord Leighton. A number of friends of Florence Nightingale are also interred here, as are veterans of the Battle of Waterloo. The Swiss owners of the English Cemetery driven by financial considerations now want to abandon it. More enlightened people wish to preserve this monument to distinguished visitors who died in nineteenth century Florence. A Petition has been initiated to preserve the cemetery, and for it to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The petition needs 1000 signatures Please sign the petition. Its address is: htttp://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/471134975
