Juliana Dresvina writes: Nikolay Alexandrovic Korsakov, Корсаков Николай Александрович (1800-1820), Pushkin's classmate in the Lyceum, was a poet and a musician who collaborated with Pushkin, composing music for several songs, with lyrics by Pushkin. He was part of the Roman diplomatic mission and died of galloping consumption in Livorno; his grave is in the Greek Cemetery there. In 1821 Pushkin wrote 'Young man's tomb' in his memory, and also this stanza in his famous '19 December' (1825), the anniversary of the Lyceum's foundation:

Он не пришел, кудрявый наш певец (Click for reading by Juliana Dresvina in Russian)

С огнем в очах, с гитарой сладкогласной:
Под миртами Италии прекрасной
Он тихо спит, и дружеский резец
Не начертал над русскою могилой
Слов несколько на языке родном,
Чтоб некогда нашел привет унылый
Сын севера, бродя в краю чужом.

[He didn't come, our curly bard/ with fire in his eyes and with his sweet-voiced guitar:/ Under the myrtles of sweet Italy/ He sleeps quietly, and a friendly chisel/ Didn't trace over the Russian grave/ A few words in the familiar language/ So that a son of the North, wandering the foreign land/ Does not find this grieving greeting.]

D32/ 998/ CAV. ORAZIO KLEIBER HALL/ HORACE HALL/ ENGLAND/ITALY
Co-heir to D31/ SEBASTIANO KLEIBER, oldest son of Thomas Hall and Marianna Kleiber, brother to D33/ ALFRED CHARLES HALL. Horace Hall is greatly involved with the Swiss Church and 'English' Cemetery. When his first wife. Costanza Lamberti, dies in 1858, he makes a donation to the Lady Don (E5/ MARY MARGARET (MURRAY) LADY DON) fund in her memory. He then marries the much younger Giulietta Corridi, daughter of Filippo Corridi, professor of Mathematics at Pisa, and tutor to the Grand Duke's children. Born in Livorno, he dies in Florence. Hall family members, who are intensely bi-cultural, as we see in the Italian of this English tomb, connect with the Kleiber and Matthews (E100) families. We do not know what was on the top of this impressive column, perhaps a bust, perhaps a now-stolen urn, as we see in the Harper's Monthly engraving below.

D47/ 523/ JACQUES AUGUSTIN GALIFFE/ SVIZZERA
We thought that three tomb bases from which the marble slabs have long gone in Sector A, at A57-59 (sono probabilmente tre i membri della famiglia Galiffe che riposano in queste tombe, lastra in marmo mancante. Lastra. Marmista ignoto. Sec. XIX, post 12/1853. Ambito toscano. Basamento privo della lastra. [P.s.: A: 12; L: 82; P: 160.]) were for three members of the Galiffe family, but other clues suggest they were buried instead in Sector D, at D47, which are tombs that we had thought were for the Pellew husband and wife. Pastor Luigi Santini wrote concerning Jacques Galiffe, that this 'Genevan historian and genealogist [in the style of Sismondi, his contemporary], lived and engaged in trade for a time in Holland, Germany and Russia, but returned to Geneva during the Napoleonic period to share in the troubles of his city. Turning to history he was in a sense the first Genevan historian to make use of documentary and archivistic sources with scientific intent. The results of his historic research, however, stripped of artifice and adulation, made him the centre of such controversy and hostility that in the end he preferred to emigrate to Florence. Italy owes to him the first systematic study of the Italian religious exiles of the sixteenth century. His daughter Sophie (1825-1841) and his second wife, Amélie Franço Pictet (1790-1872), daughter of the Charles Pictet who was the Swiss delegate at the Congress of Vienna, are also buried in the cemetery'. On the Web we find, in English, the following account: 'Jaques (James) Augustin Galiffe, (son of Barthelemy Galiffe and Marie Naville, and brother of Colonel Jean-Pierre, No XII as above) born on 7th April 1776 godson of Jaques Rilliet-Plantamour and of Augustin de Candolle - historian and genealogist. His studies for the magistracy or diplomacy were unfortunately brought to an end by the Revolution which ruined his family and compelled him to emigrate. He then adopted the commercial profession for which he had no vocation, but it was the only one in which he could hope to acquire independent means, by his aptitude for work, and his remarkable gift for languages. Besides Latin and Greek of which he was a master and English which he spoke and wrote as his mother tongue, he knew German, Dutch, Russian, Spanish and Italian, and was conversant with most of the popular dialects of the latter. This enabled him to obtain very important posts in the best banking houses of London, Holland, Germany and Russia, but these occupations did not prevent him from continuing his favourite studies, literature, languages and specially history which his frequent travels gave him opportunities of studying in the principal libraries and archives of Europe. Deeply attached to his native land, he remained zealous for what was called "the good cause", the triumph of which could alone restore the independence of Geneva. When therefore Lord Carlisle, in 1798 introduced in Parliament a motion to help the Swiss against the French, Galiffe volunteered to undertake the dangerous task of intermediary. He was then in frequent communication with the principal members of Parliament, the Duke of Portland, Lord Fitzwilliam, Lord Grenville and the famous Pitt, whose support had to be obtained. Finding that negotiations were dragging he did not hesitate to sacrifice his excellent position in London to proceed with a few friends firmly determined to accomplish their object in the best way that circumstances would permit. Adverse news from the theatre of the war stopped him on the way, and he enlisted as a Volunteer in a Militia Corps which was raised in England when a French invasion was expected. - After several years spent in Holland, at Gottingen, Hamburg and Berlin, he entered in 1805 the firm of Baron de Rall, banker of the Imperial Court at St. Petersburg. - M. de Speransky who was then Prime Minister made him tempting offers to enter the Russian Civil Service, but the fear of sacrificing his independence led him to refuse them, as also a proposal to take the direction of a Russian National Bank which was then being discussed.  It was during that period of his life that he kept a very interesting correspondence with Mme de Stael. On receipt of the news that the independence of Geneva was seriously threatened by the return of Napoleon, Galiffe gave up his splendid prospects in Russia to return and enlist as a private in the Geneva contingent, in which he served throughout the campaign of Franche-Comte, first as Staff-secretary and afterwards as an Officer. After the death of his parents, he went to Italy in 1816, and related his travels in his first book, "Italy and its inhabitants" published (in English) in London, which the reviews of the time described as one of the best of its kind. In 1820, the brothers Brougham, appointed to defend Queen Carolina, called him twice to Milan, where his indispensable assistance was required by them in the preparation of that famous trial. Having returned to Geneva where he married and resided till 1841, he set himself to study the history of his country, and worked at it until his death. Appointed to the "Commission des Archives" he undertook by himself, and gratuitously, to sort and classify thousands of documents which had been completely neglected since the Revolution, and which during the foreign occupation had been left in a state of chaos and filth. For over twenty years he persevered in this fatiguing work with a zeal which undermined his health, but neither his illness, nor his infirmities nor even the difficulties placed in his way by the ignorance and contempt of those who should have helped him, could stop him in his self-imposed task. Not only did he reconstitute the Archives of Geneva and save them from certain destruction, but he searched for every item of information necessary to control and complete them, not only in the archives of neighbouring towns but all over Switzerland, in the registers of parishes and castles in Savoy, in the Pays de Gex, at Lyons, Dijon, Paris, Chambery, Turin, Lucca and Florence. From 1829 to 1831 he published successively as first result of his work, two volumes of "Materials for the History of Geneva" and 2 volumes of "Genealogical Notices on Genevese families" (the third appeared in 1835). This at once established his reputation as an historian of Geneva, but only the experts can realise the labour which these books represent. The "Letters on the Middle-Ages", addressed in 1838 to the famous historian Schlosser, are the last historical work which he gave to the public. Schlosser declared in his "Heidelberger Yahrbucher 1839" that it was the best and most learned essay he had read, as regards knowledge and criticism of the subject. The "Letters written from Paris" had been addressed by Galiffe in 1827 to his intimate friend, Lord Brougham, Chancellor of England. They were published in 1830 at the request of several persons to whom they had been communicated and who had been struck by the wonderful foresight with which the author had anticipated the events and solution of the political situation in France. Although he filled no public functions in Geneva, except that of Municipal Councillor for the commune of Satigny, he took an active part in all political and religious discussions. Full of sympathy with the principles of Aristocracy yet he condemned them when they were opposed to progress, of which he was a sincere partisan and consequently he sometimes felt himself awkwardly situated at a time when compromise was considered as a doctrine in the political system. Sincere and convinced protestant, although a declared enemy of the calvinist dogma and system, he was a zealous champion of the liberty of creed, and in 1835 he vehemently opposed the celebration of the Jubilee of the Reformation, which he considered a blunder likely to cause discord between the citizens of the two religions. (Lettres a un pasteur du Canton, 1835) The general public is only acquainted with a portion of Galiffe's works, as the major portion is still unpublished. Besides his writings on all branches of the history of Geneva, he left a large number of sketches, notes, extracts, historical, literary and artistic criticisms, studies on languages, a very learned genealogical notice on the principal houses of the princes and counts of Southern and Central Europe, shedding considerable light on the most obscure period of the Middle-Ages, and lastly a voluminous correspondence.  The latter part of his literary legacy is not the least interesting item, as he was in constant communication with the celebrities of many countries. To those already named, Mme de Staël and Lord Brougham, (Lord Chancellor of England and one of his intimate friends) must be added, Mr Backhouse, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Lord Grosvenor, afterwards Marquis of Westminster. Among politicians and statesmen may be named Lord Fitzwilliam, Viceroy of Ireland, Lord Carlisle, Lord Palmerston, William Russell, Capo d'Istria, Marquis Luchesini, Ambassador to Prussia, Count Rossi, Baron Stein, Wickham, British Minister with the Army of Princes, M.de Speransky, Prime Minister of Russia, and Count J de Maistre - among historians, Messrs de Barante, Thierry, Mignet, Michelet, Sismondi, Schlosser, Karamzine, Viasemsky, and in Switzerland, de Mulinen, de Grenus, d'Estavayer, de Gingins, de Charriere - among professors, Fellenberg and Bonstetten - among women-authors, Lady Charlotte Bury, Mme de Montolieu, Miss Edgeworth, Mme Necker de Saussure - among musicians, Dusseck, C M de Weber, Steibelt, Field and Abbe Litz who owed him his first letters of recommendation - the poet C Didier whom he was the first to encourage, the famous naturalist Agassiz whom he assisted pecuniarily in the prosecution of his studies, etc., etc. - As historian of Geneva, Galiffe is certainly the pioneer of the modern school of History. His publications, drawn direct from authentic documents shocked many people by the discredit which they seemed to throw on the conventional ideas of the old school, which the dominating party of the time considered as a sort of Palladium. Tired at least of the worries caused by his keen polemics, he preferred to go and settle with his family in Tuscany, without waiting for the political reaction which he had foreseen, and died at Florence 15th December 1853.  (See "Notice on the life and works of J A Galiffe" - D'un siecle a l'autre Journal de Geneve 31st December 1853 - Memoires de la Societe d'histoire et d'archeologie 1854 - Les etudes genealogiques a Geneve, by Professor Ritter - Histoire de Geneve, by Gaullieur.)

Sophie Anne Marie Catherine, born 16th April 1825, daughter to Jacques Augustine Galiffe, god-daughter of Prince Pierre Andreiowitch Viasemsky, died at Florence 14th November 1841. She showed remarkable dispositions for literature and music. Her brother, Jean (John) Barthelemy Gaifre Galiffe, - who is not buried here - was 'Educated at the Fellenberg Institute, Hofwyl; Doctor of Law of the University of Heidelberg 1842, Mayor of the Commune of Satigny 1853-1858.  Deputy to the Grand Conseil (Legislative Council) 1854, professor of National history at the Academy of Geneva 1861-65, Consul 1866, and afterwards Consul-General for Denmark with the Swiss Confederation 1883 - represented that power at the 2nd Congress of the Red-Cross at Geneva 1868, and at the Congress of the Universal Postal Union at Berne 1875. - Member (active, honorary or corresponding) of nearly all the historical or archaeological societies of Switzerland, of the National Geneva Institute, of the Royal Committee of National History of Italy, of the Academy of Savoy, and of the Archaeological Society of the Rhenish Provinces, etc., etc., Knight of the Danish order of Danebrog, and of the Italian order of St. Maurice et Lazare.  Died 25th February 1890 - Following his father's footsteps he devoted the greater part of his life to studies of history, archaeology, genealogy and heraldry, in which his native country held the foremost part.  Expert as learned as he was exact and conscientious, he left a series of solid works the value of which is as much appreciated abroad as it is in Geneva, and he is justly entitled to be considered as one of the first, and possibly the best known of Geneva's National Historians.

She had a long widowhood, but also the consolation of her husband's and her father's fame. Their tombs are now seemingly lost, but the records indicate that Amalie Pictet Galiffe was buried in Sector C, which corresponds to the modern Sectors C and D, while the number 1178 is chiseled to the left side of D47. Admiral Pellew's wife's tomb was relocated to be beside him in Sector A, A111-112.

D69/ 845/ CLARA MATHILDE SALVETTI WETSZYNTHUS/ SVIZZERA
In this burial we see a Swiss woman born in Florence who is widowed from a Swedish/Finnish husband and who is the daughter of Gaudenzio and Catherine (D67). The statue on her tomb is sculpted by Giuseppe Lazzerini, Professor at Carrara, who also sculpted the 'Allegory of Death' on the tomb of Andrea Casentini (B76). This statue instead represents 'Faith' (not St Helen which would have been unacceptable in a Protestant cemetery). The cross has been vandalized but we have found all the fragments. Our hope is that Leonora Gioventu will receive the funding to restore this work. She has already restored the 'Allegory of Death' for her 2009 Opificio delle Pietre Dure thesis. The statue is a fitting companion to that of 'Speranza' by Odoardo Fantacchiotti on Reginald Routh's tomb (E25), in Sector E.

D72/ 381/ SIR JAMES ANNESLEY/ IRELAND
He publishes Researches into the Causes, Nature and Treatment of the More Prevalent Diseases of India, and of Warm Climates Generally, 1841 (609 pp), with a fine engraved portrait. The Notes and Queries transcription records what was intact 100 years ago but of which most is now missing from the remaining slab fragment. This tomb needs to be repaired in the same manner that Daniel-Claudiu Dumitrescu and Nicholae Ovrei under Alberto Casciani did with that for B65/ EDWARD PORTEUS, building up the centre with bricks, then placing the marble slab sides, and last the top. The piece that is inscribed with FORT ST GEORGE, LATE PRESIDENT OF THE MEDICAL BOARD AT MADRAS/ WHO DIED AT FLORENCE/ THE 15 DECEMBER 1847 is now in the collection of inscribed marble slabs. See Webbs, Anglo-Florentines, pp. 133-134.

He comes from the Rumantsch-speaking area in the Canton of Grigioni in Switzerland. His family name is on the gate of the Cemetery as involved with the Swiss founding of it.

Descended from an Emperor of Constantinople, a Prince of Greece, Moldavia, Poland and Russia, he was an owner of Roma slaves, he died when a friend and guest of Prince Demidoff. A Romeo and Juliet story of a double suicide between a Frenchwoman and one of his Roma slaves, forbidden to marry each other by law, along with the translation of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin into Romanian, started the liberation of the Roma in that country. His tomb is in the same style as that for PAUL POLIDORE VENTURA, D83.

D108/ 698/ THEODORE PARKER/ AMERICA
Pastore Luigi Santini: 'Born of a modest family in Lexington, Massachusetts, he studied at Harvard Divinity School, specializing in a study of German theology. He was drawn to the ideas of Coleridge, Carlyle and Emerson. In 1842 his doubts led him to an open break with orthodox theology: he stressed the immediacy of God and saw the Church as a communion looking upon Christ as the supreme expression of God. He organized the first congregations, called Unitarian, in Boston, and participated in the fight for the abolition of slavery. Seriously ill, he sought refuge in Florence because of his friendship with the Brownings, Isa Blagden and F.P. Cobbe, but died scarcely a month following his arrival. Frances P. Cobbe collected and published his writings in 14 volumes; his compatriot John Hart made the original simple tombstone'. This is what Frederick Douglass published on him:

Next to Rome, in point of interest to me, is the classic city of Florence, and thither we went from the Eternal City. One might never tire of what is here to be seen. The first thing Mrs. Douglass and I did, on our arrival in Florence, was to visit the grave of Theodore Parker and at the same time that of Elizabeth Barrett Browning (B8). The preacher and the poet lie near each other. The soul of each was devoted to liberty. The brave stand taken by Theodore Parker during the antislavery conflict endeared him to my heart, and naturally enough the spot made sacred by his ashes was the first to draw me to its side. He had a voice for the slave when nearly all the pulpits of the land were dumb. Looking upon the little mound of earth that covered his dust, I felt the pathos of his simple grave. It did not seem well that the remains of the great American preacher should rest thus in a foreign soil, far away from the hearts and hands which would gladly linger about it and keep it well adorned with flowers. Than Theodore Parker no man was more intensely American. Broad as the land in his sympathy with mankind, he was yet a loving son of New England and thoroughly Bostonian in his thoughts, feelings, and activities. The liberal thought which he taught had in his native land its natural home and largest welcome, and I therefore felt that his dust should have been brought here. It was in his pulpit that I made my first antislavery speech in Roxbury. That its doors opened to me in that dark period was due to him. I remember, too, his lovingkindness when I was persecuted for my change of opinion as to political action. Theodore Parker never joined that warfare upon me. He loved Mr. Garrison, but was not a Garrisonian. He worked with the sects, but was not a sectarian. His character was cast in a mold too large to be pressed into a form or reform less broad than humanity. He would shed his blood as quickly for a black fugitive slave pursued by human hounds as for a white President of the United States. He was the friend of the non-voting and non-resistant class of abolitionists, but not less the friend of Henry Wilson, Charles Sumner, Gerrit Smith, and John Brown. He was the large and generous brother of all men, honestly endeavoring to bring about the abolition of Negro slavery. It has lately been attempted to class him with the contemners of the Negro. Could that be established, it would convict him of duplicity and hypocrisy of the most revolting kind. But his whole life and character are in direct contradiction to that assumption.

While he had written the following in his diary:





Following this visit to see Theodore Parker's tomb, Douglass agitated for a better monument to honour him, William Wetmore Story being commissioned to carry out the present one. Story had already created a bust of Parker from life in Rome, and now portrayed him in bas-relief. This is one among several tombs with a portrait medallion: A64/ GEORGE AUGUSTUS WALLIS by Aristodemos Costoli; A15/ ANNE SUSANNA (LLOYD) HORNER by Francesco Jerace; AB7/ INA BOSS SAULTER, by Ettore Ximenes; B4/ ELENA NIKITICNA DIK, NATA AKZYNOVA by Fyodor Fyodorovitsch Kamensky; C3/ THOMAS SOUTHWOOD SMITH by Joel T. Hart; D108/ THEODORE PARKER by William Wetmore Story; D127/ JAMES ROBERTS, by Joel T. Hart?; E12/ JAMES LORIMER GRAHAM, JR by Launt Thompson; E9/ WALTER KENNEDY LAWRIE by Pietro Bazzanti, F27/ PHILIPPINA (SIMONS) CIAMPI, by Joel T. Hart? When President Obama ordered the carpet for the Oval Office he included words he thought originated with Martin Luther King, Jr., but which are actually Parker's words abbreviated by King from a sermon Parker preached against slavery in 1853: 'How long? Not long because the arc of the moral compass is long, but it bends towards justice'. He quoted them again at Nelson Mandela's funeral.

D110/ 914/ RICHARD HILDRETH/ AMERICA
Frederick Douglass in his diary above notes he also visits the tomb of Richard Hildreth and comments at length on his writings. Jeffrey Begeal notes Richard Hildreth was American Consul in Trieste. William Lyons Phelps notes that he wrote an inspiring History of the United States in six volumes, stating in its Preface: 'Of centennial sermons and Fourth of July orations, whether professedly such or in the guise of history, there are more than enough. It is due to our fathers and ourselves, it is due to truth and philosophy, to present for once, on the historic stage, the founders of our American nationa unbedaubed with patriotic rouge, wrapped up in no fine-spun cloaks of excuses and apology, without stilts, buskins, tinsel, or edizenment, in their own proper persons.' The Dictionary of Unitarian and Universalist Biography notes that he wrote the first anti-slavery novel, The Slave, from witnessing slavery in Florida where he had gone because of his tuberculosis. This novel may be read on the Web at http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/hildreth/hildreth.html. TAU has a copy of its Italian translation. Harriet Beecher Stowe, in Uncle Tom's Cabin, copies this novel and that of Frances Trollope (Sector B, B80), Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw. Buried near Theodore Parker (D108), he also is Unitarian. Frederick Douglass visited both their graves and in his handwritten diary, above, commented admiringly on Hildreth. Hildreth's wife, Caroline Negus, the portraitist who supported her husband's writing career, died of cholera in Naples in 1867.

D126A/ 468/ CHARLES WITAL/ SVIZZERA
Charles Wital looks proudly over the Cemetery of which he is Inspector. The Swiss buried for free foreigners dying in transit who were paupers as a service to the city and out of compassion but were not necessarily compassionate to those who were more wealthy. One story of him is of his holding the possessions of an English child in custody until she is of age and can pay the bill for her father's burial, the trunk being sealed by him and by the British Consul. Webbs, Anglo-Florentines, p. 514, tells us that Josephine Hely was raised next as the ward of Mrs Tennant, the chaplain's widow, and that she later married Giacinto Achilli, a former Dominican turned Protestant, who involved John Henry Newman in a suit for libel, and who abandoned Josephine and their four children, the English Church coming to her support.

She is his French-speaking widow whom we saw on this tomb with her son, his stepson, mourning her husband at his death. She dies fifteen years later than he and had been older than he when they married, having previously been widowed from Joseph Augier. Amilcar Gramarcho writes from Brazil explaining that Joseph Augier's son, Joseph Charles Edward Frédéric Augier, hotel owner, who died in 1870, was the father of Caroline Sophie Jeanne Augier, born in Florence in 1860. She went to France where she married James Edward Moore, their child being Annette Moore, born 1881, who married the Russian Yakov Ganzelevitch in Gibralter and went to live in Tangier, Morocco. The family has the 'certificate de naissance et de baptême' of Caroline Sophie Jeanne Augier from the Eglise Evangelique Reformée de Florence, dated 24/1/1868. See JOSEPH AUGIER, D128
