Francesco Negri (18 December 184121 December 1924) was an Italian photographer known not only as a pictorialist but for his innovative work in photomicroscopy and in the development of the telephoto lens, and for his early experiments in Louis Ducos du Hauron’s techniques of colour photography. His scientific and cultural pursuits included botany and local history: in both fields his publications remain significant. He served as Mayor of Casale Monferrato. In the meantime by profession he was a lawyer.

Biography

Negri was born in Tromello in Lomellina (PV) to Angelo Maria Negri and Maria Magnaghi who were well-off and well-connected. [Samuel Butler recounts that

Cavaliere Negri, at Casale-Monferrato, told me not long since that when he was a child, during the troubles of 1848 and 1849, the King was lunching with his (Cav. Negri’s ) father who had provided the best possible luncheon in honour of his guest. The King said:

“I can eat no such luncheon in times like these - give me some garlic.”

The garlic being brought, he ate it along with a great hunch of bread, but would touch nothing else.

"The Note-Books of Samuel Butler", Section XII.] He attended secondary school in Vigevano, then took a law degree in Turin, graduating in 1861. The following year he moved to Casale Monferrato where he married Giulia Ravizza and pursued a career in a civil law.

Negri died in Casale on 21 December 1924.
