Federico Guida, who has just finished editing a forthcoming, illustrated book on Edward Lear’s stay in Corpo della Cava and the surrounding area (which will contain two essays of mine, btw) sends me a scan of Edward Lear’s Italian death certificate, which is available from Antenati: Gli archivi per la ricerca anagrafica.

The Italian death certificate is very unique. I hope they were the same as my country.
