Nicolò Barsanti
He was a delicate child with good natured and affectionate nature. His mother was contrary to sending him to school because she thought it would harm her delicate son's health, while his father was not favorable to bringing the boy to work with him and thought that an instruction would give him a better life to live.

Felice Matteucci
Since he was a child, Felice showed a great entusiasm distinguishing himself in his studies, so much that at the age of eleven he had written some greatly appreciated poetry. It is known that during the 1823-24 school year, he appeared among the students of the Royal High School of Lucca (the University of Lucca at that time).
