About the author

Very little biographical information about Tommaso Cimino could be confirmed from readily available reliable sources during this search. What can be confirmed is that he was the author of Storia del quindici maggio in Napoli con l'esposizione d'alcuni fatti che han preparato la catastrofe, published in 1848, a work presented as the testimony of an eyewitness.

That book centers on the events of 15 May 1848 in Naples, a pivotal and violent moment in the history of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Because the work was written so close to the events it describes, Cimino's voice stands out less as that of a distant historian and more as someone recording upheaval as it unfolded around him.

No suitable confirmed portrait image was found during this search, so none is included here.
