Italian Surname
A name in the Italian language consists of a given name () and a surname (); in most contexts, the given name is written before the surname, although in official documents, the surname may be written before the given name or names. Italian names, with their fixed ''nome'' and ''cognome'' structure, differ from the ancient Roman naming conventions, which used a wikt:tripartite, tripartite system of praenomen, given name, Roman naming conventions#Nomen, gentile name, and cognomen, hereditary or personal name (or names). The Italian ''nome'' is not analogous to the ancient Roman ''nomen''; the Italian ''nome'' is the given name (distinct between siblings), while the Roman ''nomen'' is the gentile name (inherited, thus shared by all in a gens). Female naming traditions, and name-changing rules after adoption for both sexes, likewise differ between Roman antiquity and modern Italian use. Moreover, the low number, and the steady decline of importance and variety, of Roman ''praenomina'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Angelo Colarossi
Angelo Colarossi (1875–1949) was a studio boy and assistant to the sculptor Alfred Gilbert. At the age of 15, he modelled for Gilbert's most famous statue ''Anteros'' (1891) on the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain in Piccadilly Circus. He was later employed by an English firm of aircraft manufacturers. Life Angelo Colarossi the younger was one of six or more children born to Angelo Colarossi, Sr. (''c.'' 1838–1916), and Mary Ann Gorman in West London. The family lived at 14, Masboro Road West, in the Brook Green area of Hammersmith, and is recorded there in the 1881 census. Angelo Colarossi, senior, had been an artist's model himself, and his son was following in the father's footsteps. Whilst the boy is remembered chiefly for the delicate figure in Piccadilly Circus, the father was the model for several powerful expressions of masculinity, such as ''An Athlete Wrestling with a Python'' by Frederic, Lord Leighton. Alfred Gilbert was commissioned to sculpt a memorial to Anthony A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

During the Unification of Italy, the Kingdom fell to the troops led by nationalist and anti-papal general Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882), whereupon it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy and asset stripped. As a Catholic and loyal royal marine, this was an unwelcome outcome to Colarossi's elder brother Angelo (1836–1916); thus, in late 1860 or in 1861, they made their way, mo ...
