I haven't been able to find any verifiable English sources for this person that don't come directly from copied Wikipedia pages. The Italian-language source cited is a wiki too. The only evidence of his existence from a reputable, non self-published source that I've found from a single entry on the Smithsonian website where it lists him as the author of a book. Given the poor quality of the sources there's no way to verify that any of the information is true, and a lot of it seems to be circularly linking between outdated Wikipedia mirrors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RookWeaver (talk • contribs) 11:06, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The very first search that I would expect anyone to do unearths many sources showing obvious notability. And what gives you the idea that Treccani is a wiki? Phil Bridger (talk) 16:21, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
