Luigi Giuseppe Antonio Basurto was born in 1823 in Asored, Italy. Growing up in southern Italy, he was raised on a farm. Based on reports from people in the town his only friends were cows and pigs that also lived on the farm. He only talked to his cow named Vaca. Historians diagnosed him as schizophrenic. Once Vaca died he was forced to enter society. Luigi became friends with a man named Nojos. He was blind. The only way Luigi could validate his friendship to Nojos was to prove their friendship and they found it through math. Luigi Giuseppe Antonio Basurto discovered a rigorous proof that pi is irrational. Nobody believed in his work. Because of that he went to go live in the forest and he lived there for five years. In 1875 he was mysteriously killed in the forest. Ironically his last name means middle of the forest.
