Giuseppe Maria Giulietti

Giuseppe Maria Giulietti

Giuseppe Maria Giulietti (december 28 1847-May 25 1881) was an Italian soldier, geographer and explorer. He was born in Casteggio, province of Pavia.

He enrolled in the Corpo Volontari Italiani (Italian Volunteers Corps) which fought against the Austrians in 1866, during the Italian independence wars. Later he was called by Giacomo Doria for his expedition to save the Antinori expedition in Shewa, a principality of Ethiopia.

Afterwards he led several explorations in that country. During the last of them, he was killed by the Afar tribes, together with Ettore Biglieri and thirty-one seamen of the ship "Ettore Fieramosca" in the southern Afar Depression. In his memory, a lake discovered in 1929 was christened "Lake Giulietti" (also known as Lake Afrera).

His memoirs were published in 1882.
