==Protestant family and death in Italy== [[File:2009_11_riemann_008.jpg|thumb|Riemann's tombstone in [[Biganzolo]] in [[Piedmont]], Italy]]Riemann fled Göttingen when the armies of [[Hanover]] and [[Prussia]] clashed there in 1866.<ref name="duSautoy2003">{{cite book|last=du Sautoy|first=Marcus |author-link=Marcus du Sautoy|title=The Music of the Primes: Searching to Solve the Greatest Mystery in Mathematics|title-link=The Music of the Primes|year=2003|publisher=HarperCollins|isbn=978-0-06-621070-4}}</ref> He died of [[tuberculosis]] during his third journey to Italy in Selasca (now a hamlet of [[Verbania]] on [[Lake Maggiore]]), where he was buried in the cemetery in Biganzolo (Verbania).<br /> Riemann was a dedicated Christian, the son of a Protestant minister, and saw his life as a mathematician as another way to serve God. During his life, he held closely to his Christian faith and considered it to be the most important aspect of his life. At the time of his death, he was reciting the [[Lord's Prayer]] with his wife and died before they finished saying the prayer.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://godandmath.com/2012/04/24/christian-mathematicians-riemann/ |title=Christian Mathematician – Riemann |date=24 April 2012 |access-date=13 October 2014}}</ref> Meanwhile, in Göttingen his housekeeper discarded some of the papers in his office, including much unpublished work. Riemann refused to publish incomplete work, and some deep insights may have been lost.<ref name="duSautoy2003" />
