Sinopsis

His loyalty lasted a lifetime&hellip,Surgeon, merchant, vintner, and writer Filippo Mazzei influenced American business, politics, and philosophy. Befriending Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, Mazzei was a strong liaison for others in Europe. Mazzei was Jefferson&rsquo,s inspiration for the most famous line in the Declaration of Independence: &ldquo,All men are created equal.&rdquo,Clearly, Mazzei had a gift of language and often used his words to share his ideas about religious freedom. Mazzei encouraged other Italians still living overseas to join him in a country rich with opportunity and promise. Often, when returning from Italy, he booked passages on ships for people who desired to travel to America and employed them on his estate&mdash,just to ensure a better, more fruitful life for everyone. During those travels, Mazzei found himself at the center of many fights for freedom.He was truly a friend to freedom around the world.
