Cimitero degli Allori


The Cimitero Evangelico agli Allori 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 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.
