Luigi Bernabò Brea

Luigi Bernabò Brea (Genua, 27 September 1910 – Lipari, 4 February 1999) was an Italian archaeologist.

Together with Madeleine Cavalier, a very close collaborator who was briefly his wife, he was responsible for the establishment of the Aeolian Archaeological Museum of Lipari.

This work results from two archaeological excavations: those carried out in Liguria in the caves of Arene Candide and those performed on the acropolis of Lipari.

Both revealed a very complete succession of stratigraphic layers which allowed diverse connections with other Mediterranean archaeological sites.
