Giacomo Albanese (11 July 1890 – 8 June 1947[1]) was an Italian mathematician known for his work in algebraic geometry.
Then he entered the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa as a student of mathematics, and received his doctorate in 1913.
He was awarded the Ulisse Dini prize for his doctoral essay on the topic Continuous systems of curves on an algebraic surface, written under the direction of Eugenio Bertini.
He taught at Scuola Normale Superiore from 1913 to 1919, with an interruption in 1917–1918, when he was conscripted into the Italian Army to fight in World War I.
After spending a year at the University of Padua to work with Francesco Severi, he took up in 1920 a professorship in Analysis and Algebra at the Italian Naval Academy in Livorno.
