Campo Verano cemetery in Rome

o projekcie

This 19^th-century Roman cemetery holds many an amazing record of Polish history and remembrance. It is a place of burial of many distinguished representatives of Polish culture, science, and politics. There is a significant number of buried Polish artists, clergymen, intellectuals, insurgents, soldiers, and émigré activists. These include: Aleksander Gierymski (painter), Teodor Rygier, Tomasz Oskar Sosnowski, Wiktor Brodzki, Antoni Madeyski (sculptors), General Stanisław Klicki, and Karolina Lanckorońska (art historian and founder of the Polish Historical Institute in Rome). Campo Verano is not only the final resting place of many remarkable figures. It’s also an exhibition of excellent works of art by Polish sculptors.

2013-2014

In the years 2013-2014, the Cultural Heritage Foundation arranged for conservation of four grave markers at the cemetery. The first of them, conserved in 2013, was one designed by designed by an excellent sculptor named Antoni Madeyski, called the tombstone of Polish Artists (Aleksander Gierymski, Antoni Madeyski, Wiktor Brodzki, and Jadwiga Bohdanowicz). In 2014, three further grave markers of Poles buried at Campo Verano were renovated. These were the grave markers of: Henryk Cieszkowski and Aleksander Stankiewicz (painters, especially active in the environment of the 19-th century Roman art colony), Józef Onufry Antoni Korzeniowski (November insurgent, collector, social activist), and the highly sophisticated gravestone of Rev. Ludwik Grabiński, a Lateran canon.

The task was carried out by a team supervised by Janusz Smaza, PhD, composed of: Krzysztof Jurków, Bartosz Markowski, and Aleksandra Trochimowicz.

In 2013, the project proceeded thanks to the Minister of Culture and National Heritage’s funds granted as part of the “Cultural Heritage” programme, priority: “Protection of Cultural Heritage Abroad”. In 2014, the project was supported by the Minister of Foreign Affairs’ funds provided directly to the Association of Academic Traditions (the Foundation’s partner) as part of the competition entitled “Cooperation with Polish Diaspora and Poles Abroad in 2014”. The project partner was the Polish Institute of Rome and the Consular Department of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Rome.
