1. Luigi Porro Lambertenghi (Che Era Costui, in Italian).
Excerpt (in translation): He participated in the new political experiences of Napoleonic Italy, first in the Cisalpine Republic and then in the Kingdom of Italy; at the fall of Napoleon he sided with the liberals promoting technological and social progress. He was among the animators and collaborators of the Conciliatore; when in 1821 Pellico and others were arrested for joining the Carbonari he too ended up among the accused but avoided prison and condemnation by taking refuge in exile, first in England, then in Greece and France. He returned to Milan only in 1840.
