VII. THE AUREO ANELLO WEBSITE

We are an Association (Aureo Anello Associazione Biblioteca e Bottega Fioretta Mazzei e Amici del Cimitero 'degli Inglesi'), formed under Italian law, composed of members throughout the world, and which seeks to become a Foundation under Italian law, to carry out the restoration of the 'English' Cemetery and to maintain the Cemetery, its library and workshop, the Biblioteca e Bottega Fioretta Mazzei, and these websites. 'Aureo Anello' as title is taken from the words on the plaque on Casa Guidi placed there in 1861 by the Italian government, that she made of her poetry a golden ring betwixt Italy and the English-speaking world.

The Rom (gypsies) have no army, no national boundaries, while their flag is of the green of the earth, the blue of the sky, the red of a waggon wheel. This website seeks to reduce fear of them in Florence and to enable their own culture to be preserved.

X. FLORIN, A NON-PROFIT GUIDE TO CULTURE AND COMMERCE IN FLORENCE

This Florin Website is presented to enhance the knowledge and appreciation of Florence's work ethic, which stretches back to the Desert Fathers and their making of baskets and books (baskets to earn their bread, books to continue conversing across time and space about contemplation), which was continued in Benedictine monasteries, and in lay cities, like Assisi, like Florence. Florence's University came into being after Dante's day. Yet, in the century preceding him, before ever the Medici were heard of, literacy had been extraordinarily high, fathers and mothers teaching sons and daughters their letters as they worked together in family botteghe or workshops. This website welcomes you to Florence, and makes suggestions about museums, libraries and shops to visit. Italy has half the world's art treasures, Florence has half Italy's art treasures.

LATEST LIMITED EDITION

ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING

SONNETS AND BALLAD

IN ENGLISH AND ITALIAN
 

  Click here to see full size
 

Two hundred and fifty numbered, signed editions of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese, Sonnet 'On Hiram Powers' Greek Slave', and the ballad, Runaway Slave at Pilgrim's Point, are edited, translated, typeset in William Morris Troy and Golden fonts, handbound in hand-marbled papers. Elizabeth finally, shyly, gave the sonnet cycle to Robert in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, after the birth of their child, 'Pen', though she had written them during their Wimpole Street, London, courtship. Robert immediately had them published. These volumes are produced in the English Cemetery in Florence, Italy, where both Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Hiram Powers are buried. Their sales will help fund the restoration of the Swiss-owned, so-called 'English' Cemetery.
