Luigi Canina

Luigi Canina (1795–1856) was an Italian archaeologist and architect.

Born at Casale in Piedmont, he became professor of architecture at Turin, and his most important works were the excavation of Tusculum in 1829 and of the Appian Way in 1848, the results of which he embodied in a number of works published in a costly form by his patroness, the queen of Sardinia.
