[edit]

Emilio Ambrosini, born in Italy, son of italian parents, is croat? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.19.86.188 (talk) 17:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any references? Also, he appears not to have done much for Italy, anyway. Admiral Norton (talk) 19:19, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References? Wikipedia. "Emilio Ambrosini (1850, Trieste, Italy"; "Ambrosini finished a shipbuilding school in Trieste"
So he was born in an italian city (Trieste) from an italian family (Ambrosini family) and studied in that city. It's quite ridicolous to call him "croat". —Preceding unsigned comment added by EsperimentoPierrot (talkcontribs) 15:34, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First, Trieste was in Austria–Hungary at the time, not in Italy. Second, many Croatian people in Istria and Croatian Littoral bear Italian surnames, but have very little connection to Italy. Admiral Norton (talk) 19:00, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are incredible. Trieste wasn't in Italy but in Austria at the time, ok. But that was the same for Rijeka. However Trieste had mostly an italian population. Emilio Ambrosini was an italian from Trieste. Can you explain me how you can call him croat? Please explain how a person from an italian city from an italian family can be considered croat. You talk about "Croatian people in Istria and Croatian Littoral", but Ambrosini wasn't from Istria or Croatian Littoral. --EsperimentoPierrot (talk) 10:51, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think it would be fairest to describe Ambrosini as "Austro-Hungarian", and I have changed the article to say that. He was born and died in the Empire, he was educated in Vienna and Graz, so why not "Austro-Hungarian"? I noted that he was an Italian speaker, although I'm sure he spoke a number of languages in his lifetime. Brianyoumans (talk) 21:51, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
