Adrian Balbi
Adrian Balbi (April 25, 1782—March 14, 1848), Italian geographer, was born at Venice. The publication of his Prospetto politico-geografico dello stato attuale del globo (Venice, 1808) obtained his election to the chair of professor of geography at the college of San Michele at Murano; in 1811—1813 he was professor of physics at the Lyceum of Fermo, and afterwards became attached to the customs office at his native city.
