Teramo Castelli
Teramo Cristoforo Castelli was an Italian Theatine missionary, born of a noble family, who spent twenty-two years in Georgia from 1632 to 1654. He left seven volumes of travel notes and pen-and-ink sketches and other illustrations, mainly of the people and landscapes of Georgia. This manuscript was discovered and delivered to the municipal library of Palermo by the priest Gioacchino [di Marzo] in 1878 and brought to the attention of scholars of Georgia by Michel Tamarati in 1910.
