Monumental tomb of Gioachino Rossini inside Basilica Di Santa Croce Florence Italy
The composer Gioachino Rossini died in Paris in 1868 and was buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery, but the Florentine City Council offered his wife Olympe Pélissier the opportunity to have him reburied in Santa Croce in the company of other illustrious Italians and started a public fund-raising initiative to erect a monument to him. His body was moved to Florence in 1887 and greeted with a solemn tribute to the beloved composer.
