Cinquecento anni fa nasceva a Bologna Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605), naturalista, botanico, collezionista. Uomo avventuroso e dai molti primati, comprese una cosa ancora oggi attualissima e pervasiva: l'importanza delle immagini.

I was not aware of this connection with the phoenix bird. Very interesting.
Birds of Paradise.
Their elusive lifestyle were suggested in Ulisse Aldrovandi's, Ornithologiae, 1599.
The birds only lived on sky dew and never landed even when breeding.
