**UNGARELLI, Luigi.** Barnabite, one of the first Italian Egyptologists, born in Bologna on 14 February 1779, died in Rome on 21 August 1845.
Having moved to Rome as master of novices and reader of theology for his Order, he was able to follow the research of Champollion and advance in the study of Egyptian geography, to which he had been introduced by his fellow citizen I. ROSINI, I (v.). From 1834, in numerous articles and reviews, he defended the interpretive system of Champollion against the scepticism of many scholars. Subsequently, he was tasked with overseeing the organization and scientific illustration of the Vatican Egyptian Museum, founded in 1839 by Gregory XVI. Among his works, in addition to numerous articles on the Museum itself published in the *Dissertazioni* of the Pontifical Academy of Archaeology, are to be noted the *Elementa linguae Aegyptiaca* (Rome 1837) and the *Interpretatio obeliscorum Urbis* (ibid. 1842), with notable copper engravings. Upon the death of Champollion le Jeune, his brother Figeac insinuated that the aforementioned works of U. were plagiarized from unpublished manuscripts of the deceased, which, however, had also been consulted by his colleague and friend Rosellini. Only in 1928 was the perfect scientific conscientiousness of both Egyptologists fully vindicated by G. Gabrieli on the basis of unpublished documents.
