Giuseppe Gené

Carlo Giuseppe Gené (7 December 1800 – 14 July 1847) was an Italian naturalist and author.

Gené was born at Turbigo in Lombardy and studied at the University of Pavia.

He published a number of papers on natural history, particularly entomology.

In 1828 he became an assistant lecturer in natural history at the university, and in the following year he traveled to Hungary, returning with a collection of insect specimens.

Most of his insect collection is in the Turin Museum of Natural History.
