Hartebeespoort is a dam in South Africa. I wonder whether Luciano Moro an engineer who went to work there for some years?

More likely he was one of the 100.000 italian prisoners in South Africa. The Zonderwater POW camp was not far away http://www.francoforleo.co.za/Zonderwater.html

Very interesting bit of history unknown to me! It seems some ex Italian POWs went back to South Africa after the war, due to the depression in Italy.

Sheenagh Harris talks a little of Signor Moro in the 2020 reference for ‘Pretoria’.
I am confused between E. Meyer (who lived in East London, South Africa.....who may have been Luciano Moro’s brother Ermanno Moro.
E. Meyer is said to have discovered ‘Anvil Sparks’ in 1961 as a sport of ‘’Signora Piero Puricelli’. It was his only discovery.
However, Sheenagh said ‘Pretoria’ sported at The Floradale Nursery in East London, South Africa to ‘Anvil Sparks’

Sheenagh Harris states as a fact that quot;Another amateur was Signor Moro, who was a prisoner of war in S.A. and he bred a rose named 'Pretoria' which won a gold medal in Rome in 1953;quot;. Actually this was only a hypothesis suggested by Jedmar and me to explain some unusual things. Relatives of Luciano Moro told me that he was in South Africa for some time on behalf of his brother Ermanno (one of the greatest breeders of carnations of all times) to verify the possibilty to relocate there the cultivation of their flowers. However, becouse of logistic problems, this idea was abandoned and a closer location was chosen (Spain). Probably he applied for a USA patent for Vulcano/Volcano while he was in South Africa for that business. As for Mr Meyer I do not understand why Mr. Luciano Moro should change his name ...

Luciano Moro was the brother of Ermanno Moro, one of the most famous italian breeders (with Aicardi and Mansuino) of carnations. (information provided by two independent sources)
