Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: March 8, 1803 (www.accademiadellescienze.it; Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani) or March 3, 1803 (BnF authorities).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
