Luigi Cremona was an Italian mathematician born in Pavia in 1830, then part of the Austrian-controlled Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia. As a teenager he fought with the Italian volunteers in 1848 and 1849, and he then studied at the University of Pavia under Francesco Brioschi, graduating in 1853 as a civil engineer and architect. His life was devoted to the study of geometry and to reforming advanced mathematical teaching in Italy. He worked on algebraic curves and surfaces, notably in his paper on a geometrical theory of plane curves, and is regarded as a founder of the Italian school of algebraic geometry.
