conte Carlo Verri

Born in Milan on February 23, 1743, Carlo Verri came from the distinguished Verri family and was the brother of Pietro and Alessandro Verri, two of the best-known Milanese writers of the eighteenth century. He later died in Verona on July 7, 1823.

Verri built a public career in government during the Napoleonic period in Italy. Sources describe him as a politician and prefect who served the Italian Republic and then the Kingdom of Italy, later becoming a senator of the Kingdom of Italy.

He was not only active in politics. He also wrote on practical agriculture, including work on the cultivation of mulberry trees and vines, which helps explain why some references remember him as both a political figure and an agronomic writer.
