"Giuseppe Maria Giovene (23 January 1753 \u2013 2 January 1837) was an Italian archpriest, naturalist, agronomist, geologist, meteorologist, entomologist and ichthyologist. He is best known for his studies on the \"nitrosity\" of Pulo di Molfetta, which made him famous abroad, so as to be cited and appreciated by many Italian and foreign scholars, including Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann in a French publication. His scientific research, mainly focused agronomy, botany and meteorology, were not just theoretical and aimed at the mere research of natural phenomena, but their goal was to develop and improve agriculture in the Kingdom of Naples; this was a common feature of the scientific works of the earliest scientists of the Kingdom of Naples. He was member of many academies, among which the Societ\u00E0 italiana delle scienze and, because of his being a polymath, he's been described as an \"encyclopaedic mind\". He was also a clergyman, and he held many important positions, including those of archpriest and apostolic vicar. He also became interested in numismatics, and he collected ancient coins and medallions, and he also possessed a collection of ancient Italo-Greek vases (called etruschi). He was also a spirit devoted to charity and modesty, so much that sometimes he preferred not to publish his articles, which were published by his colleagues, such as abbot . He was one of the first scientists of Apulia and he exhibited remarkable scientific skills, helping to eradicate \"the prejudice against the good Apulian people of their being lazy and ignorant.\" His research activity was carried out using modern methods of observation and experimentation, \"following the maxims of Galileo\". \"He liked to read the observations carried out by others, but he also liked to see the whole procedure with his own eyes\"."@en . . .

I suoi lavori scientifici, riguardanti principalmente l'agronomia, la botanica e la meteorologia, non erano solo disinteressati e tesi alla mera conoscenza dei fenomeni naturali, ma, caratteristica comune dei primi lavori scientifici del Regno di Napoli, avevano come obiettivo sviluppare e rendere efficiente l'agricoltura. Fu socio di molte accademie, tra le quali la Societ\u00E0 italiana delle scienze e, per la sua versatilit\u00E0, fu definito un \"dotto enciclopedico\". Fu anche un ecclesiastico, e ricopr\u00EC molti importanti incarichi, tra i quali quelli di arciprete e vicario apostolico. Si interess\u00F2, inoltre, di numismatica, collezionando antiche monete e medaglioni, e possedeva anche una collezione di antichi vasi italogreci (detti etruschi). Per quanto riguarda il suo carattere, invece, \u00E8 ricordato da molti per il suo spirito caritatevole e la sua modestia, tanto che a volte preferiva non pubblicare i suoi articoli, i quali venivano pubblicati da suoi colleghi, come ad esempio l'abate Ciro Saverio Minervini. Fu uno dei primi scienziati pugliesi e dimostr\u00F2 notevoli capacit\u00E0 scientifiche, contribuendo a estirpare \"dai bravi pugliesi la vergognosa marca di pigri ed ignoranti\". La sua attivit\u00E0 di ricerca era svolta coi metodi moderni dell'osservazione e dell'esperimento, \"seguendo le massime del Galilei\". \"Gradiva perci\u00F2 leggere le osservazioni altrui, ma piacevagli di esaminare coi proprj occhi l'intero procedimento di esse\"."@it . . . . .
