Biography

A leading figure in the Cinque Giornate uprising of 1848 in Milan, Giulio Rossi devoted his energies to painting and photography, specialising as a photographic portraitist in the following decade. He is known to have had his first studio in Contrada dei Nobili (later renamed Via dell’Unione) in 1854 and to have moved from there to Via Bigli in 1866. He was awarded a silver medal at the Esposizione Industriale Italiana (Milan, Salone dei Giardini Pubblici, 1871). A talented experimenter with photographic techniques, he achieved success with portraits of the upper middle-class and aristocratic society of the time, expanding his business with two new shops on Corso Vittorio Emanuele and branches in Genoa and Trieste.

gollark: I wonder if this is one of those "hedonic adaptation" things, or however you spell that.

gollark: ... looks fine to me?

gollark: Anyway, I think the pinephone looks fine, it's pretty much "generic rounded rectangle with screen on the front".

gollark: What I *would* be interested in is some sort of low-power long-battery-life pocket computer with LoRa radios, an e-paper-ish visible-in-sunlight screen, and the ability to read text and type a bit.

gollark: Maybe when small-scale manufacturing improves.
