- Note
- "Hanno (Italian: Annone; c. 1510 – 8 June 1516) was the pet white elephant given by King Manuel I of Portugal to Pope Leo X (born Giovanni de´ Medici) at his coronation. Hanno, an Asian elephant, came to Rome in 1514 with the Portuguese ambassador Tristão da Cunha and quickly became the Pope´s favorite animal. Hanno died two years later from complications of a treatment for constipation with gold-enriched laxative." - (en.wikipedia.org 28.12.2020)
