About the author
Born in Milan in 1743, Carlo Verri was an Italian nobleman, politician, and agronomist. He was the brother of the better-known writers Pietro and Alessandro Verri, placing him within one of Milan's notable intellectual families.
Sources agree that he took on important public roles during the Napoleonic period in Italy, serving as a deputy, prefect, and later a senator in the Kingdom of Italy. Other biographical references also describe him as active in agricultural and learned circles, including the Accademia dei Georgofili.
He died in Verona in 1823. Although he is less famous today than some members of his family, his life reflects a mix of government service, practical reform interests, and the cultural energy of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Lombardy.
