[FIN] Pietilä haudassa on sen päälle kiinnitettynä kaunis pronssinen kahden nuoren patsas. Ne ikäänkuin tanssivat siinä. Taideteoksen tekijä on ilmeisesti V Jansson. Hautaan on haudattu Frans Pietilä ja hänen vaimonsa Ida.
Hautakivi on mustaa graniittia ja hyvin perinteisesti muotoilu neliömaiseksi. Veistos on noin puolisen metriä korkea ja sijaitsee keskellä hautakiviä sen päällä.

"Nuoren Frans Pietilän oli vallannut "Ameriikan kuume", ja tämä oli seilannut Atlantin yli vuonna 1902. Seattlessa Frans tapasi kotiapulaisena toimineen Ida Lehtisen. Tuulikki syntyi heidän esikoisekseen. Perhe palasi Suomeen 1920-luvun alussa ja asettui Suomeen." [Source: HS 12.3.2017]

V Jansson on taiteilija Viktor Jansson. Hän on kirjailija Tove Janssonin isä. Erittäin kuuluisa kuvanveistäjä, jonka töitä on hieno löytää.

[EN] The Pietilä grave has a beautiful bronze statue of two young people attached to it. They seem to dance in it. The author of the artwork is apparently V Jansson. Frans Pietilä and his wife Ida are buried in the grave.
The headstone is black granite and has a very traditional square design. The sculpture is about half a meter high and is located in the middle of the tombstone on top of it.

"The young Frans Pietilä had been overcome by the 'America fever', and he had sailed across the Atlantic in 1902. In Seattle, Frans met Ida Lehtinen, who worked as a housekeeper. Tuulikki was born as their first child. The family returned to Finland in the early 1920s and settled in Finland." [Source: HS 12.3.2017]

V Jansson is the artist Viktor Jansson. He is the father of writer Tove Jansson. A very famous sculptor whose work is great to find!
