Paolo Gorini
Paolo Gorini (1813-1881) has been an unconventional personage of science. He was perfectly in line with the coeval characteristics of the "Scapigliatura" movement, and he is often transfigured in literary terms that, though fascinating, are at times misleading and don’t describe his truer image of scientist and scholar.
