Slow down!!! or you will miss it…
Off the SS 12 in Bagni di Lucca is the English Cemetery. You have to pull over tot he side of the busy road and park as the entrance is directly on the busy road.
Now owned by the Commune of Bagni, the cemetery was built to pay tribute to the English visitors and citizens of the area. It houses the sister of our past President Cleveland who lived here. Along with several other poets, armed force men and important contributors. Some of the tomb stones are old and unreadable. Some tombs are very nice and several have even been restored in the last few years. I have no idea if it is rude to take pictures of these but I have always had a fascination with cemeteries for various reasons . I loved some of the long stories they had…There are many blogs and information about this cemetery online. The Commune bought it a few years back and anyone can contribute to the restoration of it now. There was a map of who was buried where and even a register for visitors. I have always wanted to slow down long enough for a brief visit. I was pleased to see some very Christian sentiments…
Here are a few interesting pictures…
