THE WEBBS WHO HAVE DONE SO MUCH OF THE RESEARCH OF THE 'ENGLISH' CEMETERY BOOK 'WHITE SILENCE', ARE NOW PUBLISHING THE FOLLOWING:

Diana Webb & Tony Webb. The Anglo-Florentines: The British in Tuscany, 1814-1860. Bloomsbury, 2019.
A look at the British residents and visitors of Florence in the 19th century. This book gives a fuller picture than has hitherto been attempted of the variety of Britons who became residents of Florence between the end of the Napoleonic wars and the absorption of Tuscany into the kingdom of Italy. Many of them were leisured, and some aristocratic; a few were writers or artists; the British clergy and physicians who ministered to them were gentlemen. Many others were shopkeepers, merchants and even engineers. Some achieved a more profound knowledge of the country (and its language) than others, but all were affected to some degree by the momentous events which led to Italian unification.
Diana Webb was Senior Lecturer in History at Kings College London, UK, until 2006. Her previous books include Patrons and Defenders: the Saints in the Italian City States (1996); Pilgrims and Pilgrimage in Medieval Europe (1999); Pilgrimage in Medieval England (2000); Medieval European Pilgrimage (2002); and Saints and Cities in Medieval Italy (2006). Tony Webb holds a PhD in History from King’s College London, UK. He was Head of History and Deputy Headmaster at Maidstone Grammar School.

DANTE VIVO: The 8th of September, 2015, the Ensemble San Felice of Federico Bardazzi and Marco di Manno performed a concert of the music of Dante's Commedia in Florence's Duomo, having already performed this music in Ravenna, Graz, Avila, Cologne, and Orsanmichele. It can be heard at Dante vivo by clicking on the Cantos that have music. For instance, Paradiso III, where the text is read by Carlo Poli, actor son of contadini in the Mugello, and where Piccarda sings Ave Maria. Or Paradiso XXXIII where again Carlo Poli reads the Canto, and where St Bernard sings 'Vergine Madre, figlia del tuo figlio'. For the playlist of the music: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJJChgOGCbAUljXZOv2TH32IGeYfBwYTq  To this we have now added Christine de Pizan, Le Chemin de Lonc Estudes/Il Cammin di Lungo Studio, in French and Italian, her feminist rewriting of Dante's Commedia, where her guide is Virgil's feminine Sybil, and she herself the dreamer.

he culture of Florence was based on skilled handwork, on alphabetical learning and on numerical banking. Its coin (the 'Florin' of our Website's URL), became the currency of Europe, the medieval Euro, using on one side the lily of the Virgin at the Annunciation, on the other, John the Baptist; Mary and John from the Gospel's pages becoming Florence's patrons. For the Bible from Asia, as 'a stranger in a strange land', had already become currency throughout Europe, and from it were to be spawned countless other books, such as Dante Alighieri's Commedia, John Milton's Paradise Lost, Madame de Staël's Corinne ou l'Italie, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Aurora Leigh, Robert Browning's The Ring and the Book, George Eliot's Romola, Nathaniel Hawthorne's Marble Faun, Fyodor Dosteivsky's The Idiot, each of these with Florentine associations. At first books were written out by hand, in manuscript (the 'ms' of our Website's URL), often gold-leafed as well as rainbow-coloured, and were read aloud and chanted from. Then they became black and white printed books, read silently in intellectual loneliness. Now they can be the sensuous luminous and harmonious pages, with colour again, and with song, with voice, through the new/old technologies of alphabet and number, the zeros and ones, of our computers, of our information society.

 have a dream of Florence being the world's University. Brunetto Latino had a similar dream, which he nurtured in exile in Spain and France after the 1260 Battle of Montaperti, returning to Florence to teach Guido Cavalcanti, Dante Alighieri and Francesco da Barberino. This website contains transcriptions of medieval manuscripts, essays, conference proceedings and, as E-Books, Latino's Il Tesoretto, Li Livres dou Tresor, La Rettorica, and a volume of essays Sweet New Style; Essays on Brunetto Latino, Dante Alighieri and Geoffrey Chaucer.

III. THE DANTE ALIGHIERI WEBSITE

lthough Dante was exiled from her, Florence's soul is Dante's. Dante, and his teacher, are certainly the reasons why I eventually came to live here. And now, with our latest project, you can virtually walk with me through her streets tracing Dante's biography in marble and stone, in English and in Italian, Dante's Florence, la Firenze di Dante.

We are dedicated to saving Florence's very beautiful, famous, and formerly abandoned 'English' Cemetery, now almost two hundred years old, the Swiss Evangelical Reformed Church having bought this land from the Grand Duke in 1827, the first burial being in 1828.

 

V. THE 'THUNDERS OF WHITE SILENCE WEBSITE', ON FLORENCE'S ENGLISH CEMETERY

his website next became the publisher of the catalogue of tombs in the so-called 'English' Cemetery, owned by the Swiss Evangelical Reformed Church in Florence, resulting in information coming from descendants and scholars from as far away as Africa and Australia.

http://www.78s.ch/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/01-sergei-rachmaninov-the-isle-of-the-dead-symphonic-poem-op29.mp3
Call up music file, then reduce to icon, and recall this file to have them be simultaneous. Rachmaninoff uses the sound of the oars of  Charon's boat on the waters for his symphonic poem, the 'Isle of the Dead', Opus 29

This catalogue is linked to files, of use to scholars, genealogists and relatives, giving the complete registry of the tombs in the so-called English Cemetery in Florence and the Cimitero agli Allori, just outside Florence, opened in 1877 when the 'English Cemetery' was closed for burials:

Opening Hours, Monday, 9,00 a.m.-12,00 m., Tuesday through Friday 3,00 p.m.-6,00 p.m. Summertime
