Cimitero degli Allori
The Cimitero Evangelico agli Allori ("The Evangelical Cemetery at Laurels") is located in Florence, Italy, between 'Due Strade' and Galluzzo.
Cimitero Evangelico Agli Allori
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 (including Jews and Muslims) 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.

gollark: The US government has frequently been useless and incompetent at pandemic handling (halting the J&J vaccine and initially claiming masks didn't work are the two obvious things I can think of), but that doesn't mean that everything they say is wrong, or that belief in things that the government says is necessarily just because the government says it.
gollark: And apparently it's generally much more useful for seeing what might be an effect rather than collecting data on frequency of things.
gollark: The data was probably somewhat more useful before it suddenly became embroiled in ridiculous political issues.
gollark: Nature fairly bad, as they say.
gollark: BRB, engineering new forms of pathogen to infect your machine-based body.
