]]>Fontanesi was born in Reggio Emilia, Emilia-Romagna, and trained with the landscape painters Prospero Minghetti and Vincenzo Carnevali. From 1841 to 1846 he made theatre sets and began painting landscapes. In 1848, he joined a group of Garibaldian volunteers, that went to Milan to fight with the Manara Legion, against the Austrians. In 1859, he briefly joined Cavour's armed forces in Bologna. In 1850, he moved to Geneva, where he stayed until 1865. His main area of interest was landscape painting, which he expanded after visiting the 1855 Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1863, he tried to settle in London, but found few commissions of work. He completed a series of watercolors of paintings in the National Gallery. He returned to Florence, where he stayed with the fellow painter Cristiano Banti.
He participated in important artistic exhibitions, displaying his works in Lyon, Turin, Milan, Florence, Genoa and the Triennial Exhibition of Fine Art in Bologna. He was nominated professor at the Academy of Lucca, but moved to Turin when a chair as a landscape professor was created especially for him at the Accademia Albertina in Turin from 1869 to 1876. Among his pupils was Carlo Follini. In 1876, the Technical Fine Arts School (Kobu Bijutsu Gakko), an art school of painting and sculpture, was founded in Tokyo under the supervision of the Ministry of Industry. It was the first governmental art school founded in Japan. Upon recommendation of the Italian minister in Tokyo, Count Alessandro Fè d'Ostiani, the Meiji government contracted three Italian artists as foreign advisors: Vincenzo Ragusa (1841-1927) for sculpture, Antonio Fontanesi for drawing and Giovanni Cappelletti (who died in 1885) for the preparatory course. The trio greatly influenced the development of Japanese art and architecture through the next several decades.
The acceptance of teachers in art from Italy alone was based on the unofficial government policy of accepting military advice from France, industrial advice from Great Britain, agricultural advice from the United States, and legal and medical advice from Germany. Fontanesi introduced the techniques of charcoal, crayon and oil paints to his Japanese students, who included Asai Chū and Yamamoto Hosui. He also taught western concepts of perspective, anatomy and sketching from life. His career in Japan was cut short by serious illness, which forced him to return to Italy in 1878.

]]>She is famous for creating an arsenic-based poison, known as "acquetta di Novellara", which she used to get rid of her enemies.
After learning that her husband had become infatuated with Orsola Manari, Matilda tried to have him killed by two hired killers who, June 8, 1714, fired some harquebus shots at his carriage as he was leaving the castle. The Count escaped unhurt, but as a punishment, and in order to avoid any scandal, he sent Matilda back to her father, keeping their children with him. Matilda returned to Novellara just eleven years later for the christening of her grand-daughter Maria Teresa, Ricciarda’s daughter (according to what was written by the canon Vincenzo Davolio in his Memorie Storiche della Contea di Novellara - Historical Memories of the County of Novellara).
