context_page_description: Franz Hruschka also known as Franz von Hruschka or Francesco De Hruschka or František Hruška was an Austrian/Italian officer and beekeeper known as the inventor of the honey extractor, an invention he presented in 1865 at the Brno Beekeeper Conference.
context_section_description: He lives in the Palazzo Brandolin Rota which he turns into a hotel and rents. It is believed this was the cause of his bankruptcy due possibly of unscrupulous tenants and poor location. The farm in Dolo is sold in 1880 to attempt to salvage the enterprise but fails. The house is sold at auction, and he moves to a rented place in the Palazzo Rizzi with his wife, selling everything. He became a silent loner, not going anywhere for the last six years of his life. He passed away on May 8, 1888 of Angina pectoris in his apartment, and his funerals took place on May 11, 1888.
