Today we had the privilege of hosting Dr. Peter Earle, former Professor at the London School of Economics and Emeritus Reader in Economic History at the University of London at the Old English Cemetery of Livorno. He is presently writing a book on the ties between Livorno and Liverpool in the 18th c. and he is specifically interested in the Earle & Hodgson firm and their networks.
We were glad to show him and his brother Robert some of the tombs related to their research and to have a chance to promote the unacknowledged history of the cemetery. Hopefully the cemetery and our association will have a small place in his next book!
For those interested in the previous books by Peter Earle, you can find more than a dozen on sale on Amazon.
