I'm linking to my Photobucket acct. These are each 1000 px in the largest dimension. I wish they would show at 100% here, the screen resampling here looks terrible!

Isn't Stravinsky ( °1882 - 1971) burried in Venice? Isle of San Michele....close to the grave of Diaghilev....

the monument is for a Theodor ( but not Igor's son), born in 1843....

That's his father. He is often referred to as Fyodor, a variation of Theodor.
