I recently moved. Books are not exactly in the order I want them to be. Hemingway ended up everywhere.
Rare photograph of author-journalist Ernest Hemingway and wife, Martha Gellhorn at their home, 'Finca La Vigea (Lookout Farm)' in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba.
Martha Gellhorn (1908-1998) was an American novelist, travel writer, and journalist who is considered one of the great war correspondents of the 20th century. She reported on virtually every major world conflict that took place during her 60-year career. Gellhorn was Hemingway's third wife from 1940 to 1945. She died in 1998 in an apparent suicide at the age of 89, ill and almost completely blind.
The Ernest Hemingway Birthplace in the Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture Historic District in Oak Park. Hemingway lived here until he was six. Hemingway's father was a physician and his mother was a musician. He was named after his mother's father, Ernest Hall.
For our Spring break this year we travelled south, right to the tip of the Keys to Key West.
These beginning scenes are from the beginning of the trip. Beautiful weather, beautiful scenery ... and never have I seen so many fishing boats anywhere. The Keys are sort of like the Caribbean, have that island mentality, yet still very much a part of America. Great restaurants and if you love seafood as we do, you'll be in heaven!
This was Hemingway's home from 1931 to 1939.It is a private, for-profit landmark and tourist attraction now populated by six and seven-toed cats that guides claim are descendants of Hemingway's cats. The author's second son, Patrick, who lived in the house, stated in a 1994 interview in the Miami Herald's "Tropic" that his father had peacocks in Key West, but no cats; he owned cats in Cuba. In a 1972 L.A. Times interview, Hemingway's widow Mary denounced the sale of "Hemingway cats" by the owners of the house as "An outright lie. Rank exploitation of Ernest's name." The house no longer sells cats, but does continue a selective breeding program for them.
It was in this house that he did some of his best work, including the final draft to "A Farewell to Arms," and the short story classics "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber."
The house stands at an elevation of 16 feet above sea level, but is still the second-highest site on the island. It was originally built by Asa Tift, a marine architect and salvage wrecker, in 1851 in colonial southern mansion style, out of limestone quarried from the site. As testament to its construction and location, it survived many hurricanes, and the deep basement remained, and remains, dry.
The Hemingways had lived in Key West since 1930, but had rented housing. Pauline Hemingway (the writer's second wife) found the Tift house in 1931, for sale at a tax auction. Pauline's uncle Gus bought it for her and Ernest, for $8,000 cash, and presented it to them as a wedding gift.

The top of the fountain is an old Spanish olive jar from Cuba, but the trough is the interesting thing. This came from "Sloppy Joe's" (Hemingway's drinking haunt) and was originally a urinal.
The house was built by Asa Tift, a marine architect (and Confederate mariner), in 1851. In 1931 Hemingway purchased it and lived here with his second wife, Pauline, and their two sons until 1939.
Here, Hemingway completed the final draft of "A Farewell to Arms," as well as "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".
The entrance to the Hemingway House, at 907 Whitehead Street, near the lighthouse in Key West. The writer Ernest Hemingway lived here from 1931 to 1939. He owned the house for some time afterward, and often visited it.
The house was built in 1851 by ship salvager Asa Tift, who was the richest man in Key West at the time. Most of the landscaping came after Hemingway's time, after the U.S. Navy built a fresh water pipeline from the Florida mainland.

The Ernest Hemingway Boyhood Home in the Frank Lloyd Wright-Prairie School of Architecture Historic District in Oak Park. His family moved here in 1906, when Hemingway was 6. Hemingway lived here until he gradated from Oak Park and River Forest High School in 1917 and accepted a job at the Kansas City Star. It is thought that his earliest works were written in his bedroom.
Ezra Pound lived here and it was here that he introduced Hemingway to one of his first publishers, Ernest Walsh. In return, Hemingway taught Pound to box. They became strong friends and toured Italy together in 1923. Pound nurtured Hemingway’s talent and introduced him to other writers like Joyce, with whom Hemingway would go out on “alcoholic sprees”.
The Tomb of the family Oneto with the Angel of Death.
This angel with ambiguous charm is the most famous statue, of Staglieno, in the world. It is a work of the sculptor Giulio Monteverde (Bistagno, Alexandria, 1837 - Rome 1917) , a pupil of Varni, 1882. An angel watches over the remains of the deceased in an almost absent, mysterious with a magnetic look at nothing, or infinity. A symbol that will make Monteverde a precursor of Symbolism especially the one of the current "culture of the mystery " of the English Pre-Raphaelites in expressive features easily recognizable but cleverly allusive. In fact, the angel is also difficult to determine with certainty the sex, for many concerns, but the work is so beautiful and charming and all the more mysterious for this question. This work was commissioned by Francesco Oneto a wealthy merchant of the bourgeoisie as well as banker.
The statue has many copies of which some were executed by Monteverde and has been copied in many cemeteries of the Catholic faith.
Note : A photograph of this statue has been published in the book PASSEGGIATE A LEVANTE by Enrico Pelos which include an itinerary that allows you to enter in the Staglieno Monumental Cemetery and visit some of the most famous tombs with news, map and informations

La Tomba della famiglia Oneto con l'Angelo della Morte.
Questo angelo dal fascino ambiguo, androgino, è la statua, di Staglieno, più famosa nel mondo. È un opera dello scultore Giulio Monteverde (Bistagno, Alessandria, 1837 - Roma 1917), allievo del Varni, del 1882. Un angelo inquietante veglia sulle spoglie del defunto in modo quasi assente, meditabondo e misterioso con uno sguardo magnetico verso il nulla, o l'infinito. Un simbolo che farà di Monteverde uno dei precursori del Simbolismo soprattutto quello della corrente della "cultura del mistero" dei preraffaelliti inglesi ben riconoscibili nei tratti espressivi ma sapientemente allusivi. E infatti dell'angelo rimane anche difficile stabilirne con certezza il sesso, preoccupazioni per molti, ma l'opera è talmente bella e affascinante e tanto più misteriosa anche per questo dubbio. Venne comissionata da Francesco Oneto un ricco commerciante della borghesia genovese nonchè banchiere della classe borghese.
La statua vanta innumerevoli copie alcune delle quali eseguite dallo stesso Monteverde ed è stata copiata in molti cimiteri di fede cattolica.
Nota:Una fotografia di questa statua è stata pubblicata sul libro PASSEGGIATE A LEVANTE di Enrico Pelos inserita in un itinerario descrittivo che permette di entrare nel Cimitero Monumentale di Staglieno e di visitare alcune delle tombe più famose con notizie, cartina e informazioni.
