Paris, on the trail of Angioy and Obino: the heroes of the Sardinian revolution

In Paris . In search of Giovanni Maria Angioy and the other heroes of the "Sardinian revolution". Thanks to the precious work of the researcher Adriana Valenti Sabouret, the anti-feudal uprisings are enriched with new important details. Valenti Sabouret discovered the church where Angioy's funeral was celebrated in 1808. Now he is trying to locate the burial place of the patriot who fought strenuously to free the island from the yoke of feudal privileges. It could be the cemetery nucleus of the Champ-du-Repos, on which the Montmartre Cemetery was later built, but it is only a hypothesis currently being verified.

With Angioy in Paris there was also Don Michele Obino , priest and jurist, another protagonist of the Sardinian revolutionary uprisings. Adriana Valenti Sabouret, after patient investigative work in the Parisian archives, found his tomb in the Pere Lachaise cemetery, now the destination of a sad pilgrimage for those who have not forgotten the human and intellectual experience of Obino, originally from Santulussurgiu.

The researcher dedicated the book Madame Dupont to Angioy's Parisian exile in which she highlighted the role of the French widow who assisted and supported him in his last years in the apartment on rue Froidmanteau. In a volume, to be released next May, Valenti Sabouret will delve into other aspects of the life of the leader of the Sardinian Revolution.
