MARINA, CARLO (1832-1909), pastoralist, was born at Piacenza, Duchy of Parma, son of Johan Marina, merchant and farmer, and his wife Judita, née Itory. After some years as an engineering apprentice he left home at 15 for musical training in the Milan College of Music but joined the Piedmontese army and served in the Lombardy campaign of 1848. In 1849 he fought at the battle of Novara, became a prisoner in Tuscany, escaped, was with Garibaldi at the siege of Rome and again taken prisoner. On his release he visited Malta, returned to Italy and in 1855 received a contract from the British government to supply meat to troops in the Crimean war. In 1856 he arrived in Melbourne.
