Annibale degli Abati Olivieri

Annibale degli Abati Olivieri (17 June 1708 – 29 September 1789) was an Italian archaeologist, numismatist and librarian, considered the founder of the Biblioteca Oliveriana, Pesaro.

He was educated in Bologna and then went to Pisa, studying with Tommaso Romito, Giuseppe Averani and Luigi Guido Grandi.

Here, with the assistance of his uncle, Fabio degli Abati Olivieri, he was able to locate rare archaeological finds which were deposited in his personal museum.

[2] In 1735, Olivieri returned to Pesaro, a date which coincides with the publication of his first antiquarian and philological work.
