Umberto Domenico Tommaso Paolessi
Half‑brother of Amedeo · b. 28 January 1907
Born in Rome on the 28th of January, 1907, a half‑brother of Amedeo Belli. That the name Umberto is given again to a brother born in 1912 suggests, sadly, that this first Umberto did not live to grow up — one of the quiet griefs of the age.
