A Cafoscarino in the World: Arturo De Luciano

Abstract

Arturo De Luciano was first a student at the Royal High School of Commerce (Regia Scuola Superiore di Commercio) of Venice, then active in several commercial enterprises in Lebanon and in Europe. The Historical Archive of Ca’ Foscari keeps a copy with dedication of a singular treatise he wrote on the breeding of silkworms, published in Arabic in Beirut in 1897. This brief contribution intends to present the figure of this cafoscarino, with particular attention to the international dimension of his training and professional activity.
