How To Tickle Armpits

BEFORE DEPARTURE: reassure



is January 18, 1875. Soon Schiaparelli was leaving for Berlin. He writes to his parents:
"Meanwhile, because you worry, I will write to Chambery, from Paris, Brussels, from Cologne and Berlin, quick feedback / callback you can follow me with his eyes on the paper. Finally
then I'm not in the country of barbarians, France el'Alemagna are civilized nations, where the means of transport, communication and life are also easier than here, and where they have comfort that we have not. If it were to go in China, or in the interior of Africa, your fears are unfounded, but in Berlin, a city of 450 000 inhabitants, and the cleanest and most beautiful dell'Alemagna, where the testimony of all those states that there are living better than in any other capital, the fears are unfounded. Indeed
must be pleased that I suddenly opened the road of progress, which I never hoped for. And yes I envy my fate not only my teammates, but several doctors at the College: this test that my position is very beautiful, and many would now be in my pants. "

What better opportunity then to talk about Schiaparelli bibliographer?

The love of books went with our all his life. In the "Letter to biographical Onorato Roux" Schiaparelli even remember reading books of elementary schools, "an old book found in the house" entitled to use the geography of the Principles and another book of geography, anonymous, where "in the description I saw in Milan For the first time, named the Astronomical Observatory of Brera, with which I was later to wider knowledge ".
A worker of the furnace of his father, whose name was Miglietti, then lent to the News Little John astronomical adapted to common usage written by Antonio Cagnoli Verona. This book gave an astronomer at the future, "the first systematic and comprehensive idea of \u200b\u200bAstronomy.



Schiaparelli was very attached to his books: take note of what they buy, he often notes, the price and, before leaving for their stay in Berlin, you take care of all those who had given back in loan to his friends.
And, when he became director at the Brera Observatory Library buys for a precious incunabula, we will discuss this yet.
