Vigilio Baldo
Vigilio Baldo was an aero inventor, clearly Italian, whom French patents have located simply in “Austria”.[1] He may or may not have resided there. As yet, our data only includes patents filed in France and Great Britain, though his French patents refer both to patents filed in Austria[2] and to patents filed in Italy, though still as residing “Austria”.[3] Our British data has him as a Mechanical Engineer addressed at “22 Via Foscolo, the City of Trieste, Empire of Austria”.[4][5]
The specific situation of Trieste, relative to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and any interaction may have had with the per se Italian patent office, are matters which will be fleshed out. References to the “Empire of Austria”, making no reference to Hungary, are standard within British patent documents(while American patents rarely if ever use the word “Empire”, and do refer to “Austria-Hungary”).
If our data or the declarations of Baldo himself are correct, then the inventor likely filed two patents in Italy on 1913-03-20.
