Victor von Hagen (1984, presso Boggioli, in Toscana)
Esplorò il Sudamerica assieme alla moglie. Specie negli anni tra il 1940 e il 1965 pubblicò un gran numero di libri sulle antiche popolazioni degli Inca, dei Maya e degli Aztechi.
Nei primi anni '50 intraprese un'esplorazione di due anni in Perù alla ricerca delle antiche strade Inca, riuscendo a trovare l'unico ponte sospeso Inca giunto fino a noi.
Von Hagen, negli ultimi anni della sua vita, si era stabilito in Italia, dapprima a Trevignano Romano e poi in provincia di Arezzo: si interessò anche di antichità italiane.
Morì a sua casa di Montegonzi, frazione di Cavriglia in provincia di Arezzo, nella notte tra il 7 e l'8 marzo 1985 [1].
Sua figlia, Adriana von Hagen, è co-direttore di un museo a Leymebamba (Perù).
