Angelo Soliman

Image Title:
Angelo Soliman (c. 1721 – 1796)

Note:
"Angelo Soliman, whose real name was Mmadi Make, probably belonged to the Magumi sub-set of the Kanuri ethnic group. His original name, Mmadi Make, is linked to a princely class in the Borno State in modern Nigeria. He was taken captive as a child and arrived in Marseilles as a slave, eventually transferring to the household of a marchioness in Messina who oversaw his education." [Wikipedia] Learn More
