Martin Bergame

He was born in at the age of 56. His poetry was of an almost romantic style although most critics would not class him as a romantic, but more as a classical poet.

Bergame is also credited by some for early versions of the invention of flying. He was a mechanic by profession and focused on winged engineering.
