Free Andrea Bonelli
Franco Andrea Bonelli is a ornithologist, a Entomologiste and a Italian collector , born the November 10th 1784 with Coni in the Piedmont and dead the November 18th 1830.
One knows very little thing on the life of Bonelli. It is known simply that it was interested very young person in the study of the fauna which surrounds it, driving out, preparing the specimens, noting its observations. He suffered from Rachitisme and measured only 1,37 Mr. He becomes member of Reale Società Agraria di Torino in 1807 where he makes his first presentation relating to the Coléoptère S of Piedmont. The quality of this one is worth to him the interest of the naturalists of its time.
In April 1810, Georges Vat (1769-1832), is sent to Turin by the French government to reorganize there the Université of Turin and its fusion with the Impériale university rested by Napoleon. Vat is very impressed by knowledge of Bonelli. Vat encourages it to supplement its formation while coming to follow courses to the national Muséum of natural history. Bonelli will take this advice, the more so as that will facilitate to him obtaining a pulpit in the new university. In September 1810, it arrives at Paris and writes then with his/her brother: The visit with the Museum, that Cuvier made me carry out as a whole, and that I will examine thoroughly, offered such a spectacle to me that it deserves well that one makes three hundred miles to suit it to see. The attentions of which made proof in my connection Cuvier, Lamarck and Geoffroy, like all the assistants naturalists, were for much in the affection of which I taken for these places. (...) Aujourd'hui, I returned visit to Mr. Lamarck, which, having discovered that I am in favor of several of his ideas, was particularly caught of affection for me, informs me in many things, and great facilities to me to study the invertebrate animals grants
The following year, Bonelli becomes professor of Zoologie at the university of Turin and conservative of the natural history museum of zoology. It constitutes one of the largest collections of Oiseau X of Europe. Thanks to its action, the notoriety of the university of Turin competes with that of Padoue.
He writes, in 1811, his Catalog of the Birds of Piedmont where he describes 262 S. In 1815, he discovers the bird now named the Pouillot of Bonelli ( Phylloscopus bonelli ) that (Louis Vieillot (1748-1831) described in 1819. The same year, he discovers the Aigle of Bonelli ( Hieraaetus fasciatus ) that the same Old-fashioned describes in 1822.
It is Carlo Giuseppe Gené (1800-1847) which succeeds to him the head of the Natural history museum.
