Giuseppe De Cristoforis
Giuseppe De Cristoforis (or De Cristofori) (11 October 1803, Milan – 27 December 1837, also Milan) was an Italian naturalist and collector.
His collections, merged with those of Giorgio Jan (1791-1866), were the basis of Museo Civico di Storia Naturale of Milan. He bequeathed them to the city in 1832 on the condition that the municipality created a natural history museum curated by his friend Giorgio Jan.[1][2]
