Abstract
On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the national unity of Italy it was decided to give honour the first mayor of Arquà: Giuseppe Vicentini (1805-1877). We talk about a critical, counter-current, against the tide figure, characterized by many different in political, religious and cultural interests. After his studies about Philosophy he also started to study Medicine, with a new interest for Botany. Here are mentioned Vicentini’s knowledge of Mons. Sichirollo and people of Polesine that were strictly connected to Garibaldi. After the Polesine’s area of Rovigo annexation in 1866 as a consequence of the Third War of Independence, he strongly believed as an anti-Austrian in the Italian ideals (we can see examples in the famous and peculiar garden of his home, the Casino di caccia Estense). Here is reported a large documentation both own by the family and conceded by the University of Padua.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
