Tulio Antonio Rottanzi,〔(List of Cooper Medical College Graduates, 1883–1912, ''Stanford Alumni, 1891–1955,'' Volume II, pp. 945–51, published 1956 )〕 known as T.A. Rottanzi, (1867–1911) was a medical doctor who was on the San Francisco, California, Board of Supervisors in the late 19th century and was noted for introducing a law that banned the wearing of tall hats in theaters. As a short-term acting mayor he sought out ways of cutting indolence and waste in city government, and during a city crisis in which two boards of supervisors claimed to hold power, he was the only person serving on both bodies. ==Biography== Rottanzi was born in 1867 in San Francisco and was graduated from Boys High School and Cooper Medical College in that city.〔Stanford University records said he earned his medical degree in 1887 (at the age of seventeen). Also noted in (''Pacific Medical Journal'', volume 30 (1887), page 702. )〕 He did postgraduate work in Italy.〔 Rottanzi was also a pharmacist, and in 1895 he was living at 301 Third Street, where he was operating the Old South Park Statuary Drug Store.〔(D.M. Bishop & Co. Crocker-Langley San Francisco directory for the year commencing. (Volume 1896). (page 280) )〕〔 He was a partner there with Giosue Rottanzi, "a prominent member of the Swiss Italian colony."〔("Death of Giosue Rottanzi," ''San Francisco Call,'' May 15, 1899, page 10 )〕 He was one of the "physicians of prominence" who examined boxer Tom Sharkey after his December 1896 "world championship" fight with Bob Fitzsimmons in Mechanic's Pavilion, San Francisco, a day after Sharkey had to quit the fight because of an injury.〔("Fitz Gets an Injunction: The Examination," ''San Francisco Call'', December 4, 1896, page 1 )〕 In May 1898, Rottanzi was a member of a medical board to examine the men who were volunteering to join the Army in the first days of the Spanish–American War.〔("California's Full Quota," Associated Press report in ''Los Angeles Herald'', May 10, 1898, page 1 )〕 He left the Board of Supervisors to take this duty and in June 1898, his fellow board members presented him with "a costly gold-mounted saber" as a farewell present.〔("Rottanzi Presented With a Golden Sword," ''San Francisco Chronicle'', June 8, 1898, page 5 )〕 In an October 11, 1903, ''San Francisco Chronicle'' feature titled "The Strong Men of San Francisco," Rottanzi was listed among a score of other San Franciscans as "Among those best known in the community and who have shown superior strength and endurance, or both."〔(October 11, 1903, page 4 )〕 He was married in 1906 or 1908 to Alice Deming, the daughter of Mrs. J.G. Deming of San Francisco, and they lived at 965 Union Street.〔(Location of the Rottanzi residence )〕〔His ''Chronicle'' obituary said he was married in 1906, but a February 8, 1908, story in the same paper said the couple's engagement was announced the preceding day.()〕 He died of "typhoid pneumonia" at the age of forty-three on January 20, 1911, in the German Hospital in San Francisco, and a funeral service was held on January 23 at Saints Pietro and Paolo Church on Filbert Street at Grant Avenue. Interment was at Holy Cross Cemetery, Colma.〔("Former Supervisor Dies at the German Hospital," ''San Francisco Chronicle'', January 21, 1911, page 16 )〕〔(Deaths, ''San Francisco Chronicle'', January 23, 1911, page 5 )〕 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「T.A.
