Cemetery in Florence, Italy
Cimitero Evangelico Agli Allori
The Cimitero Evangelico agli Allori ("The Evangelical Cemetery at Laurels") is located in
Florence , Italy, between 'Due Strade' and
Galluzzo .
History
The small cemetery was opened in 1877 when the non-Catholic communities of Florence could no longer bury their dead in the
English Cemetery in
Piazzale Donatello . It is named after the Allori farm where it was located.
Born as a Protestant cemetery, it is now nonsectarian and hosts people of all Christian denominations, as well as other religions (including Jews and Muslims) and non-believers.
The cemetery became newsworthy in 2006 when the writer and journalist
Oriana Fallaci was buried there alongside her family. A stone memorial to
Alexandros Panagoulis , her companion, is also present.
