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. Charles Burney noted that "his voice was feeble, and his execution moderate", but Cibber praises his acting enthusiastically: "his hearers bore with the absurdity of his singing the part of Turnus in ''Camilla'', all in Italian, while every other character was sung and recited in English". 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. Bianchi's warbler was previously placed in the genus ''Seicercus''. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2018 found that neither '' Phylloscopus'' nor ''Seicercus'' were monophyletic. In the subsequent reorganization the two genera were merged into ''Phylloscopus'' which has priority under the rules of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature.
