Talk:Giuseppe Lucatelli

Is this person the same as the article?

In the John Talbot Dillon book of 1780: "Travels through Spain, with a view to illustrate the Natural History and physical geography of that kingdom."

at the page 72 we can see:

"... but this person, whose name was Joseph Lucatelli, was a native of Carinthia, one of the provinces of the house of Austria, who having made his experiments before the emperor Leopold in 1663, at the castle of Laxemberg, near Vienna, obtained a certificate of its utility from the imperial court, and then came to that of Madrid, and performed other experiments equally successful at the Buen Retiro, in the presence of Philip the 4th, from whom he obtained an exclusive patent for the sole vending of his plough for 24 reals plate in Europe, (about 1 1s.) and 32 reals plate (about 14 f. 6d.) in America, of which a printed account was published by Lucatelli, at Seville, in 1664. A model of this plough was sent by Lord Sandwich, then ambassador at Madrid, to John Evelyn, Esq; who presented it to the Royal Society, with a letter describing its use, which was inserted in the Philosophical Transaćtions of the 23d of February, 1669-70, and the model deposited in Gresham college."

Do not know. Mengs was active in Spain, so there is that link to the Crown.Rococo1700 (talk) 14:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
