	The story of Charles Bianconi. (Tipperary Central)
		Charles Bianconi, the Italian pedlar who became a millionaire, is buried here in a mortuary chapel which he himself built beside the local parish church.
		Charles Bianconi was by now a very wealthy man. His business interests continued to flourish and the fact that he was not dependent on the land for his fortune but rather had independent means, allowed him to purchase land that came cheaply on the market in the terrible famine years of 1845-1848.
		Charles Bianconi himself died in 1875 at the age of 89 years.

	Individual Exertion.-Mr. Bianconi
		Bianconi established his cars, the travelling vehicles in use were only four-horse coaches, confined to what are termed the mail-coach roads, and the fares were too high for the humbler class of farmers and tradesmen, whose business often calls them from home.
		Bianconi's office at Clonmel, in order to procure a seat in one of his cars for Cashel, we were surprised to see the walls covered, not with glaring advertisements, notices of auctions and sheriffs' sales, but with some of the very best prints taken from the works of the great masters.
		Bianconi, and having occasion to address him, we found him polite and affable, and could have wagered a guinea to a groat, that he was born to be a gentleman.

		Charles Bianconi was born in 1786, at the village of Tregolo, situated in the Lombard Highlands of La Brianza, about ten miles from Como.
		Bianconi used to say that it was about this time when he was carrying his heavy case upon his back, weighing at least a hundred pounds--that the idea began to strike him, of some cheap method of conveyance being established for the accommodation of the poorer classes in Ireland.
		Bianconi's horses consumed on an average from three to four thousand tons of hay yearly, and from thirty to forty thousand barrels of oats, all of which were purchased in the respective localities in which they were grown.

		THE former home of Charles Bianconi, the Italian mayor of Clonmel who effectively put 19th century Ireland on wheels by establishing the country’s first transport system, is to become a 29-bedroom hotel.Building contractor Dan Casey has applied to Clonmel Borough Council for planning permission to convert Silversprings House on the Waterford Road into a hotel.
