 [No title]
Giovanni Battista Moresco was apparently consigned the string instruments currently owned by the basilica, and signed for them periodically.
The term violone basso, encountered for both Giovanni Moresco and Girardo Coleone, another violonist frorn 1604 through 1613, is unfortunately suspect, since in every case it is employed by a bookkeeper or a notary, and sometimes in a context that suggests that it meant contrabass.
For between 1678 and 1681 requests for payment for extra musicians, all in the hand of Giovanni Battista Quaglia, maestro di cappella, regularly include a violoncino, and always in the company of the violino, violetta or viola, and violone.

 Michelangelo e Giovanni Florio ed il loro contributo alla lingua, cultura e letteratura inglese
Il secondo motivo è che Michelangelo Florio, dopo essere fuggito anche dall’Inghilterra a causa delle persecuzioni contro i Riformati al tempo di Maria Stuarda [“Maria la sanguinaria”] è chiamato a diventare pastore [il secondo dalla Riforma] della comunità evangelica riformata di Soglio, in Bregaglia, dove svolge anche la funzione di notaio.
Florio aveva avuto il compito di ammaestrare nella fede una popolazione montanara che soltanto da poco tempo si era decisa per la Riforma.
Florio stesso a quel tempo, non viene più menzionato perché probabilmente già deceduto.

 Giovanni Florio
Il padre di Giovanni, con i suoi numerosi contatti con l’aristocrazia, aveva così preparato in Inghilterra il terreno al figlio.
Florio evidentemente conosceva il protestante Sidney (lo “spirito angelico” degli elisabettiani, che tradusse i Salmi in versi inglesi).
Florio sembra essere determinante nell’affermazione del famoso stile “eufuistico” pre-shakespeariano che, di fatto, è il primo stile altamente drammatico del teatro elisabettiano.

 'Tis Pity: Characters   (Site not responding. Last check: )
I rejected the idea that he was morally compromised by his agreement to marry off the pregnant Annabella to Soranzo on the simple grounds that nowhere in the text is he actually informed that she is pregnant, and it appeared that nothing he says necessarily indicates his knowledge of the truth.
Florio, his father, suspects he may be of unsound mind, but does not see beyond his bookishness (I.iii, '...he is so devoted to his book, / As I must tell you true, I doubt his health').
FLORIO (played by BRUCE IRVING), father of Giovanni and Annabella, is sometimes given bad press as feeble-minded and vacillating, particularly from the seemingly cavalier way he deals with Bergetto's suit.

 targa florio - CEIRANO
Giovanni Battista si trasferì a Torino nel 1866, aprendo un'officina per la costruzione di biciclette.
Dato che le ordinazioni ricevute superavano la potenzialità dell'accomandita, Giovanni Battista decise di cedere i suoi impianti, le attività e i brevetti alla appena sorta Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (poi diventata FIAT), che assorbiva pure il personale dell'azienda.
Giovanni, tuttavia, abbandonò ben presto la società e, mentre Giovanni Battista trasformava la ragione sociale dell'azienda in Ceirano and C., fondò a sua volta la Ceirano Giovanni Junior and C. Scopo generale di questa nuova fabbrica doveva essere quello di offrire un tipo di vettura economica e di regolare funzionamento.

 Was Shakespeare Italian ?
Giovanni Florio left Palermo, having written a libel against the doctrinal findings of the Church, taking refuge with a family in Venice, in the palace built for the commander Otello, who, according to legend, killed his wife Desdemona for jealousy.
Certainly, a third of his plays, 15 of 37, unwind in Italy and in the Veneto particularly (from Romeo and Juliet to the Two Gentlemen of Verona, from Othello to The Merchant of Venice) but that is not enough to clarify the mystery of an identity a long time uncertain.
Dunque, Giovanni Florio lasciò Palermo avendo scritto un libello contro le chiusure dottrinali della Chiesa, riparando con la famiglia a Venezia, nel palazzo costruito dal condottiero ser Otello, che secondo una leggenda avrebbe ucciso per gelosia la moglie Desdemona.

 Giovanni Boldini's Portrait of Donna Franca Florio
Donna Franca was considered by Jean Philippe Worth to be the best-dressed and most beautiful woman in Italy and her husband's fortune afforded her the life of a sovereign.
While Don Ignazio's enterprises included the "Marsala Florio", his other projects in Palermo resulted in the Teatro Massimo, the Hospital, and the Institute for the Blind - buildings which were worthy enough to compete with the latest government constructions in Rome, such as the Palace of Justice.
Following the financial ruin of the Florio family their painting collection was sold between the years of 1927 and 1928.

 Shakespeare, Door Knocker of of Canicatti (Sicily)
This Giovanni Florio, as author of a libelous publication that was judged heretical, abandoned Sicily and went to live in Venice in a palace that, dare say, had been built by one Otello who, in a blow of jealousy had strangled his wife (dare say, was named Desdemona).
Here Giovanni falls in love with the daughter of a Milanese noble (dare say, was called Juliet) who, facing the obstacles that interfered with their love, dare say, committed suicide.

 Nuova pagina 2
Un Florio Giovanni (Londra ca 1553 - 1625), umanista inglese di padre italiano ed autore di un dizionario inglese-italiano, fu certamente conosciuto da Shakespeare, che dimostra chiaramente, nelle sue opere, di aver certamente conosciuto le raccolte di dialoghi First Fruits (1578) e Second Fruits (1591) di Giovanni Florio.
Florio, invece, proveniva da Palermo, Lipari, Messina, Venezia, tutte città marinare.
E' da ritenere che tutte le opere fossero in mano ai Florio, che non potevano ufficialmente giustificarne la provenienza.
