The unveiling of the plaque in memory
of Charles Dickens, that took place on November 11, 2012, at the
Certosa cemetery in Bologna, was enthusiastically received by the
public.
After the ceremony, a period costume commemoration was
held: the event recalled the visit the English writer paid to our
cemetery in November 1844, featuring Marcellino Sibaud, the Attendant
Demonstrator as his guide.
Thanks to the Associazione 8cento it has been possible to faithfully reconstruct itineraries and period costumes.
