Guido Mancini
Guido is a given name. It has been a male first name in Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, the Low Countries, Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal and Latin America, as well as other places with migration from those. Regarding origins, there are most likely homonymous forms of it, that is, from several etymological predecessors but now seeming to be the same name. One of the likely homonyms is Germanic ''Guido'' representing the Latinisation from the Old High German name ''Wido'', which meant "wood" (that is, "forest"). Another likely homonym is the Italian ''Guido'' from a latinate root for "guide". The third likely homonym is the Italian ''Guido'' with phonetic correspondence to Latin '' Vitus'', whereas the Latin ''v'' (/w/), the Latin ''i'' (/iː/), and the terminal syllable ''-tus'' have predictable homology with the Italian /u/, /iː/, and ''-do''. Thus, for example, Saint Vitus has also been known in Italian as Guido. The slang term ''Guido'' is used in American cultu ...

Carlo Mancini (racing Driver)
Carlo Mancini (Milan, 1829–1910) was an Italian painter noted for his rural scenes and Oriental subjects. Biography Born into a Milanese family of ancient and noble lineage, Carlo Mancini grew up in a liberal cultural climate and mixed with some of the leading figures in Milan’s musical world. Regular guests in the family villa at Merate, included: Gioachino Rossini, Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi as well as Arrigo Boito, with whom he formed a close friendship. It was probably the landscape painter Rinaldo Barbiano di Belgioso, an uncle on his mother’s side, who first interested him in painting. Given that the only evidence of his studies under the guidance of Giuseppe Bisi, then holder of the chair in landscape at the Brera Academy, is an end-of-course exam work of the mid-1850s (1857) and that his name appears on no official academic documents, it has recently been suggested that his pictorial apprenticeship took place outside the institution.
