The Genesis of the Italian School of Algebraic Geometry Through the Correspondence Between Luigi Cremona and Some of His Students
2023
Luigi Cremona is considered the founder of the Italian school of algebraic geometry. He formed a group of students of great value, very active in scientific research. Examining the letters from Eugenio Bertini, Ettore Caporali, and Riccardo De Paolis to Cremona preserved in the archive of the Istituto Mazziniano in Genoa, we have reconstructed their biographies, careers, studies, and relationships with their teacher. They had the merit of cultivating the scientific innovations of the period and passing them on to the subsequent generations.
Luigi Cremona's Years in Bologna: From Research to Social Commitment
2012
Luigi Cremona (1830-1903), unanimously considered to be the man who laid the foundations of the prestigious Italian school of Algebraic Geometry, was active at the University of Bologna from October 1860,when assigned by the Minister Terenzio Mamiani (1799-1885) to cover the Chair of Higher Geometry, until September 1867 when Francesco Brioschi (1824-1897) called it to the Politecnico di Milano. The "Bolognese years" were Cremona's richest and most significant in terms of scientific production,and, at the same time, were the years when he puts the basis for its most important interventions in the social and political life of the "newborn" kingdom of Italy. In this article we present these d…

Abstract Luigi Cremona (1830–1903) is unanimously considered to be the man who laid the foundations of the prestigious Italian school of Algebraic Geometry. In this paper we draw attention to the “Legato Itala Cremona Cozzolino”, which was given to the library of the Mazzini Institute, Genoa, Italy, by Cremona’s daughter, Itala, probably in 1939. This legacy, which contains over 6000 documents, mainly consisting of Cremona’s correspondence with scientific and institutional Italian interlocutors, can help us to understand the connections between the development of Italian mathematics in the second half of the XIX century and the main political issues of Italian history.
