Felice Bisleri
Felice Bisleri (30 November 1851 – 17 September 1921) was an Italian businessman, inventor and chemist. He was born[1] in Verolanuova near Brescia and established the Felice Bisleri & Co. chemical laboratory in Milan, developing the successful "Ferro-China Bisleri", an amaro (drink) made as an alcohol infusion of cinchona bark, herbs, and iron salts. The company also made the wellselling "Nocera Umbra" mineral water named after Nocera Umbra (1894), as well as the "Esanofele", a chemical based on quinine, iron and arsenic to combat malaria (1899).[2]
