Gino Loria

Gino Benedetto Loria (19 May 1862, Mantua – 30 January 1954, Genoa) was a Jewish-Italian[1] mathematician and historian of mathematics.

Starting in 1886 he became, as a result of winning a then-customary competition, Professor for Algebra and Analytic Geometry at the University of Genoa, where he stayed for the remainder of his career.

[4] In 1897 he became editor of Bolletino di Bibliografia e Storia delle Science Matematiche.

After the German seized control of Italy in World War II, Waldensians helped Loria (endangered as a Jew) hide in Torre Pellice.

Loria was elected to the Accademia dei Lincei and the Turin Academy of Sciences.
