| In 2016 we celebrated 300 years of burials at the
foot of the Pyramid in an exhibition about the Cemetery’s history
as seen through the eyes of artists.These include foreigners such
as J.M.W.Turner, J.P.Hackert, Salomon Corrodi and Edvard Munch,
and Italians such as Bartolomeo Pinelli and Ettore Roesler Franz.
It was held from 23 September to 13 November 2016 and organised in
partnership with the Casa
di Goethe on the Via del Corso in the centre of Rome
. The curator of the event was Nicholas Stanley-Price, member of
the Cemetery's Advisory Committee and editor of its Friends' Newsletter.
