Abstract
The life of the physician and explorer Giuseppe Ferlini (1797-1870), who is mainly known for the discovery of the Kushite treasure of queen Amanishakheto at Meroe, is still largely shrouded in shadow, and the information preserved about him is often patchy, disordered and occasionally inaccurate. The article aims at describing the main stages of the life of Ferlini, from the first experiences in the military camps in the Balkans to his last adventures in Sudan, where he envisaged "archaeological research" as possible source of knowledge and income.File in questo prodotto:
