L'Egitto di Belzoni

Explorer, engineer, pioneer of modern archaeology, father of world Egyptology, he inspired George Lucas in the creation of Indiana Jones. The Paduan Giovanni Battista Belzoni was the most important and least remembered explorer of the nineteenth century, the protagonist of an extraordinary and adventurous life little known in Italy.

Born and lived in Portello, the ancient and popular heart of Padua, Giovanni Battista Belzoni dreamed of becoming a hydraulic engineer, but history had other plans for him. Nature gave him an enormous stature, over 2 meters high, and a herculean force for which he was known as "The Great Belzoni".

Above all, he had intelligence, courage, an extraordinary intuition and a disinterested love for archaeology, all qualities that he was able to put to good use in an immediately adventurous life between Rome, Paris and London, until he arrived in the country that would later make him famous.
