- Description: According to Libera Stampa (January 7, 1924), Antonio Federico Hauptmann, born in Brunico and with his mother living in Innsbruck, was described as a globe-trotter. He declared that he had begun his world journey in America, where he also claimed to have taken U.S. citizenship, before traveling across Europe and visiting numerous countries while collecting autographs. Later, he ventured into North Africa. From Tripoli he moved towards Misurata, but after straying into the interior he was captured by Arab rebels. Freed during the Italian advance at Seddada, he was flown to Tripoli along with other civilian prisoners

Un globe-trotter è stato trovato fra i prigionieri civili che le truppe italiane in Tripolitania hanno liberato nella loro ultima avanzata, occupando Seddada. Come è noto, per mezzo di aeroplani, i prigionieri liberati furono subito trasportati a Tripoli, dove l’identità dello straniero poté essere meglio accertata. È un globe-trotter: prima di andare a finire prigioniero degli arabi, aveva girato mezzo mondo ed il suo nome è Antonio Federico Hauptmann, nato a Brunico (Alto Adige); egli ha la madre domiciliata a Innsbruck.
