WErnesto Cesàro was an Italian mathematician who worked in the field of differential geometry. He wrote a book, Lezione di geometria intrinseca, on this topic, in which he also describes fractal, spacefilling curves, partly covered by the larger class of de Rham curves, but are still known today in his honor as Cesàro curves. He is known also for his 'averaging' method for the 'Cesàro-summation' of divergent series, known as the Cesàro mean.

WAndrea Naccari is notable for his study of the thermoelectric properties of metals, the photoelectric effect of metals immersed in liquids, and the electrical conductivity of gases and liquid dielectrics. He showed that the variation in the electrical resistance of distilled water was due largely to the solubility of the glass of the receptacle in which it was contained.
