Virtual Tour: English Cemetery of Florence

Last summer on Women Latinists in Florence we paid respects at the tomb of a Latin poet and learnt about her life and work from the cemetery’s custodian, Julia Bolton Holloway.


We can’t wait to come back with fresh flowers and a new group of students in 2023, but you can now learn a little about this wonderful graveyard from afar with Julia’s new virtual guide! You can even explore the cemetery by tomb – by clicking on each surname, you’ll be taken to a dedicated page to delve into their life, history and/or works.
