Alberto della Marmora

Alberto della Marmora

Alberto Ferrero La Marmora (or Della Marmora; April 7, 1789 - March 18, 1863) was an Italian soldier and naturalist.

Born in Turin, La Marmora was a general in the Napoleonic Wars and was personally decorated by Napoleon I. He was later employed by the King of Sardinia. He wrote "Viaggio in Sardegna" (Travels in Sardinia) in 1860, which extended the study of the island previously made by Francesco Cetti. Many of the animals collected by La Marmora were sent to Franco Andrea Bonelli at Turin University, and he also corresponded with Bonelli's successor, Giuseppe Gené.

He died in Turin.
