Andrea Angiulli

When Angiulli died, his library remained to his heirs along with his papers and his manuscripts. Subsequently, as far as we know, it was scattered around Puglia in varoius institutions and libraries. A substantial part of it, maybe the richest, contributed to constitute the original endowment of the town library "G. Tauro" of Castellana Grotte, to which it was given.
This collection is not held in a single location, but disributed in various sections of the library. There is no topographic catalogue of the bequest, only an inventory, which consists of - without inner distinctions or acronyms - the collections of Angiulli and that of Giacomo Tauro (1873-1951). This latter was another local educationist with an evolutionist education, professor at the Universities of Cagliari, Bologna and Rome. The only useful element to the identification of the volumes of Angiulli is the publication year, keeping in mind as terminus ante quem the year of his death (1890).
