EDITH MARGARET/ MOGLIE DEL CONTE MARIO GIGLIUCCI/ NATA LIVERPOOL IL 26 AGOSTO 1847/ MORTA IN FIRENZE IL 16 NOVEMBRE 1909// CHARITATEM/ DILEXIT// CONTE MARIO GIGLIUCCI/ PATRIZIO FERMANO/ NATO A FERMO IL 19 NOVEMBRE 1847/ MORTO A FIRENZE IL 13 GENNAIO 1937/ RECTE ET SUAVITER

The two Counts Gigliucci are the sons of Clara Novello, the English singer of the great music publishing family. Her father, Vincent Novello, was an Italian who married an Englishwoman. Clara Novello opened the 1851 Crystal Palace Exhibition her voice filling the whole vast hall without electronic support, B32/ HIRAM POWERS' 'Greek Slave' being placed at the centre of that Crystal Palace. Mary Somerville in her autobiography gives a fine account of listening to Clara Novello, in old age, still singing exquisitely. The counts in turn marry two sisters, daughters of the Jewish Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Charles Mozley. Garibaldi was frequently a visitor to Clara and her son, Count Mario, who fought for him during the Risorgimento. Clara (like Eleanora Duse) had to resume her singing career to support her family when their property was lost. Based in Fermo, except when in exile, their Florentine residence was the Villa Rosa which now houses Syracuse University in Piazza Savonarola, Florence. The American University paid for the restoration of these tombs, whose pietra serena was crumbling into sand, by Alberto Casciani, and Aureo Anello contributed the work of Daniel-Claudiu Dumitrescu conserving the iron and brass railings around them. A further monument for this family is to be found in the Santissima Annunziata.
