Life and work

The son of a wealthy family of merchants of Pescia, his elder brother was the Egyptologist Ippolito Rosellini. He studied mathematics at the University of Pisa, and mathematical physics at the University of Florence under Leopoldo Nobili.[1]

From 1836 he was the tutor for the four sons of Giorgio Doria in Genoa; one of them became the known botanist Giacomo Doria, the namesake of the Natural History Museum of Genoa. In 1846, three years after the death of his brother Ippolito, he married his widow and adopted his three sons: Eugenio, Angela and Giovanbattista.

In 1848, during the Revolutionary period, he was very active in politics; he was a member of the Circolo Patriottico Milanese, and editor of the political journal La Croce di Savoia.

In 1853 he was appointed director of the Istituto di Commercio e Industria of Turin, founded by Cavour. From 1859 he was director of Istituto Tecnico Leardi in Casale Monferrato where he had as a student a young Vilfredo Pareto.[2] After his death, his herbarium and manuscripts remained in the Istituto.[3]

The standard author abbreviation Rosell. is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[4]

gollark: I decided to look at the code in more detail. This was a mistake. It contained thousands of lines with minimally useful comments, for some reason its own implementation of hash tables (this is very C, I suppose), and apparently its own implementation of WiFi mesh things even though that should really be handled generically for any device.
gollark: After I was able to work through git's terrible CLI enough to make that work, and "fixed" some merge conflicts, it somehow compiled still, but upon plugging in the thing, hung things again. I had dmesg open, and apparently it was a page fault somehow in the code assigning names or something?
gollark: Then I noticed that they had merged patches a lot from the repo for a similar wireless chip, so I decided to just try and merge the "kernel 5.10 compatibility" thing from that, which had not made it in yet.
gollark: There was a repo on GitHub for doing that with it, but `insmod`ing it after compiling *somehow* hung my kernel so I had to reboot.
gollark: I mean, possibly. I wanted to get my USB WiFi thing to work in monitor mode for testing for non-evil purposes, but it was just really bad to do so.
