Valentino Urbani
Valentino Urbani (born in Udine; ''fl.'' 1690–1722) was an Italian mezzo-soprano or alto castrato who sang for the composer George Frideric Handel in the 18th century. He was known by the stage name Valentini. He sang the role of Eustazio at the première of Handel’s ''Rinaldo'', the role of Silvio at the premiere of ''Il pastor fido'', and the role of Egeo at the first performance of ''Teseo''. His powers of singing seem to have been limited and by the time of his Handel roles his voice was declining but he is reputed to have been a fine actor.

Urbani was the first castrato to sing regularly in London, where he created a sensation''Interculturalism and resistance in the London theater, 16 ...

Bianchi's Warbler
Bianchi's warbler (''Phylloscopus valentini'') is a species of leaf warbler (family Phylloscopidae). It was formerly included in the "Old World warbler" assemblage. It is found in China, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are temperate forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
