Francesco Costantino Marmocchi (Poggibonsi, 26 August 1805 – Genoa, 9 September 1858) was one of the most important Italian geographers, cartographers, and patriots of the Risorgimento. His life extraordinarily unites a love for the science of territory with political activism for the unification of Italy.

Giuseppe Caniani (Milan, 1773 – 1837) was an important Italian engraver and etcher, active in Milan at the turn of the late 18th century and the early decades of the 19th century.
