Balli Emilio (w2987)

Description: Emilio Balli, in 1878-1879, took part in one of the first round-the-world trips organized by a society of scholars and European tourists. The journey commenced in Marseille on August 1, 1878, aboard the ship Junon operated by the company Fraissinet. Due to financial difficulties of the organizer, the journey was halted in New York. Emilio Balli and his Geneva friend Alfred Bertrand continued on their own, visiting North America and crossing the Pacific to reach Japan, China, and India. After about 14 months, they returned home through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, stopping in Alexandria, Egypt, Naples, and finally docking in Marseille on September 27, 1879
