Giovanni Capellini (23 August 1833 – 28 May 1922) was an Italian geologist and paleontologist. He was a Senator of the Kingdom of Italy in the seventeenth legislature. ==Birth and education== Giovanni Capellini was born on 23 August 1833 in La Spezia, Liguria, son Pietro Francesco Capellini and Margherita Ferrarini. His family originated in Porto Venere. His parents intended that he should make a career as a musician, and then in the church. As a boy he collected interesting natural objects. In 1853 the future King Umberto I of Italy visited La Spezia, and Capellini was presented to him when he came to view the collection. Later Umberto called Capellini his oldest friend. Capellini remained in the monks' school until his father died in 1854. To make a living he worked as a bookbinder, a teacher in a college of La Spezia and a manufacturer of electrical equipment. He was finally able to devote himself to geology thanks to the Rector of the Seminary of Pontremoli, who offered him the post of prefect at the seminary, and he continued his studies thanks to the Municipality of La Spezia, which paid for his costs at the University of Pisa. After graduating he embraced the profession of a geologist, and began his exploratory research on the Apuan Alps. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giovanni Capellini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
