[edit]I have gathered some information on pellegrino Turri, He made his inventions for his love Countess Caroline Fantoni who had become blind, Other parts of his family where famous. That comes from the web link on the main page. Another site The Classic Typewriter Page presents A Brief History of Typewriters mentions Fantoni's full name to be Carolina (note I used A not E for this part)Fantoni de Frivizzano, this site does not use the world lover but rather the world friend. I have copied and pasted its citations note this site is less reliable becouse it has no mention of the author.
