Martinis History
Who was Tortolini Barnaba? I know it was a calculus professor at the U. …?

Since 1850 he was founder of the journal Italian mathematics and physics that had an international following. He was partly responsible for the unification of Italy in his century and there is no way in Rome in honor of him. Laura Martini has written an article about him in the history of science, but I can not get a copy online.
