Opened in February 1860, the
Cimitero agli Allori was established to house non-Catholic communities, which
until then had as their reference the English Cemetery in Piazzale Donatello,
also in Florence, but since 1970, it is open to all religions and beliefs.
There are numerous characters that
rest in this monumental cemetery, which can be considered a real open-air
museum: from Frederick Stibbert, a well-known British art collector, to the
Italian writer Oriana Fallaci. Just to enhance and protect this heritage, the
Cemetery Allori joins the ASCE, the European association that unites all the
most important cemeteries in Europe.
