Gemelli Careri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Careri (1651-1725) was a seventeenth century Italian adventurer and traveler. He was among the first Europeans to tour the world using public transportation; his travels may have inspired Around the World in Eighty Days. Some suspected him of spying for the Vatican on his journey.
