Has Tawnee Stone Been Pregnant Tawnee Stone?

In the place where lie the wise


" In Africa, Africa! I want to die as free as his nature!"

Orazio Antinori was born in Perugia October 23, 1811. Even as a young man had an active life and restless. His hustle and spirit of 'adventure fact led him to abandon his studies to enlist to fight the Austrians, to be elected deputy in the Constituent Assembly of the Roman Republic, and to fight for it. When the French finally managed to enter the city, Antinori (who had distinguished himself in the defense of the city as an excellent shooter) could not do more than choose the path of 'exile. His wandering through Europe 's start in Greece and Turkey. At Smyrna, had an encounter that changed his life. Having always been passionate student of zoology and ornithology, as well as skilled taxidermist to capture and animals, Antinori can get in company with Guido Gonzebach, the Swiss consul. His job was essentially to capture and imbalsare animals that would then console with its canals, marketed in Europe, especially in museums. This work led him to hunt its prey in Turkey, Cyprus, Crete, Malta and even up in Syria. In 1858, having inherited a modest sum from his father, he moved to Egypt to make new collections and to penetrate into that world that attracts more and more. The year after the neighboring Sudan becomes the starting point of the exile of Umbria. He meets other travelers, interested in the trade of African raw materials, which designs of shipments Nile, which at that time conveyed to him a large number of scouts from various European countries. The first real African adventure lived in the Seine Castelbolognese Angelo, and the brothers Ambrogio and Julie Poncet. A Galabat also tried to enter the Abyssinian kingdom, but the road is prohibited. With the French Guillaume Lejean goes so far in Darfur. With Alexander and Charles Vayssière Piaggia back in 1860, the White Nile to its confluence with the Bahr el-Ghazal. The three sail with the intention of achieving the Niam-Niam. Unfortunately due to the climate and the scarcity of food, the expedition will fail , and will be fatal to the 'friend Vayssière. Antinori but not discouraged and in 1866, after many other travels and adventures (including the fight with a lion that nearly the ravening) is one of fonadatori Italian Geographical Society. He dedicated himself on behalf of the company for exploration in southern Sudan and the Horn 's Africa (more than half of Italian explorers), being strongly affected by Ethiopia'. Here age of 65 years, settled there in 1876, making Let MAREF ( resting place the Wise the n Amharica language.) his refuge. This site will serve as a logistics base to take quite a few expeditions to explore environments, flora and fauna of the Abyssinian Highlands, and to better understand the behavior and ethnographic characteristics of local populations. A year later, again in this place, convinced the 'Emperor Menelik to give him a scientific station and hospital, succeeding to create a sort of real research center equipped with laboratories, a library , kitchens, and a garden in which to experiment with new crops also.
In 1882, a year earlier after falling ill during the 'Exploration of lake Zuai, and he lost his hand in an accident, died at 71 years.
Even today, the inhabitants of the place Let MAREF respect. In fact, nothing has been changed within the burial. The fields will stop within the limits of the shadow of the crown of the great Sycamore (which he himself had chosen years before as a place sepolcarale) , almost as if to sanctify the site. The older " Azmar " (Traditional Storyteller) of the village continue to sing songs in remembrance and in honor of that " Ferengi" (foreigner) who spent his life in Africa, intertwining with those of their ancestors, whom he taught 's art of taxidermy.
