Farfalle

Farfalle, or The Butterfly, was a famous engineer born in the early days of Gävle, in the year 1000 A.D.. He managed to construct sophisticated agricultural solutions for the starving city at the age of 10, and would continue his work in designing various mechanisms for different purposes. In all of his mechanisms, he would engrave "The Butterfly", in reference to the meaning of his name. He was struck with an unknown and incurable disease at the age of 14, and would die one year later in 1015 A.D..

The people of Gävle saw his contribution to the city as so significant that they would come to call the ocean to their east after him, now called the Butterfly Sea.
