| Event Name: | A Tribute to Ugo Foscolo |
| Description: | A special event organised in collaboration with the Foscolo Appeal Fund, a charity aiming to restore the first tomb of Ugo Foscolo (1778–1827).
Foscolo died at Turnham Green on 10 September 1827 and was buried in London before being transferred.
Forty-four years after his death, in 1871, his remains were taken to Florence, and with all the pride, pomp and circumstance of a great national mourning, found their final resting-place beside the monuments of Machiavelli and Alfieri, of Michelangelo and Galileo, in the church of Santa Croce, the pantheon of Italian glory he had celebrated in Dei Sepolcri. |
