Background
The multi-lingual Raffaello Carboni was born in 1817 at Urbino, Italy. He participated in the Garibaldian revolutionary wars in Italy during the 1840s, and supported the Risorgimento.
Carboni died in 1875.
Goldfields Involvement, 1854
Carboni reached the Ballarat goldfields in 1852. He had moderate success at Golden Point and Magpie Gully, then spent some time as a shepherd where he experienced living with Aborigines. He returned to Ballarat mid-1853 and became embroiled in the digger' grievances over the gold license tax, and the manner in which the authorities were policing the collection of the licence fee. Because of his language skills he was chosen by Peter Lalor to act as a go-between with the non-English speaking European miners.
Carboni was one of twelve miners charged with high treason as a result of the Eureka Stockade.
