He was born in [[Brescia]] into the noble Rampinelli family and educated by the [[Jesuits]]; he learned the rudiments of mathematics from [[Giovanni Battista Mazzini|Giovan Battista Mazini]].<ref>P. Guerrini, ''La scuola cattolica'', XVII, 1919.</ref>


He studied first at the [[University of Bologna]], where he was a disciple of [[Gabriele Manfredi]], and took his [[monastic vows]] on 1 November 1722 at [[San Michele in Bosco]].<ref name=encyclopedia/>
Was born from a noble family from Brescia Rampinelli of August 10 1697. He was educated at the Fathers of the Society of Jesus of Brescia ; learned the rudiments of mathematics by Giovan Battista Mazini. [2]
He studied first at University of Bologna , where he was a disciple of the famous mathematician Gabriele Manfredi and received the vows on 1 November 1722 at San Michele in Bosco . [1]
In 1727, after a brief stay at the Monastery of St. Helena in Venice , he went to Padua , in the Abbey of St. Benedict; here confronted with the most famous professors of mathematics University of Padova , as the Marquis Giovanni Poleni and Count Jacopo Riccati , with whose noble family of Castelfranco Veneto squeezed a sincere and lasting friendship. [3]
In 1731 he stayed for a year in Rome where he attended the famous scholars Monsignor Celestino Galiani and Monsignor Antonio Leprotti, cultivating further studies of civil architecture. [1]
After a period to University of Naples Federico II , always in contact with the best mathematicians, including Nicola Antonio De Martino , was assigned by superiors to ' University of Pavia for a year, then returned to the University of Bologna in 1733 , to teach mathematics. [1] Here he completed "Physical institutions with the analytical method." [4]
In 1740, after a stay at the monastery of St. Francis in Brescia, passed in the monastery of San Vittore Olivetani Course in Milan , where he was also a master of mathematics noblewoman Maria Gaetana Agnesi , who remembered with gratitude in the preface of "Analytical Institutions Youth of Italy ". [5]
In 1747 he was called by the Senate to fill Milanese (with double salary) the chair of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Pavia . [6] His expertise in terms of river hydraulics also earned him the appointment as supervisor is also for the construction of channel Pavia-Milan, both for the realization dell'arginatura containment of the river Po in Parpanese, in ' Oltrepò Pavese . [7]
In 1758 he published in Brescia, from the prestigious typographer Bossini, "Lectiones Opticae Ramiri Rampinelii brixiani Congregationis Montis Groves et monks in gymnasio Ticinensi Matheseos Professoris". [1] For it would have to follow "Trigonometry" and "Application of mathematical physics practice" if, April 10, 1758, had not been hit by a sudden stroke . [8]
After a short period in Brescia to recover, father Ramiro returned to Milan in the monastery of St. Victor, where, on 8 February 1759, suffered a second attack apoplessi, died. [9] Of Ramiro Rampinelli was written:
"Coupled with the theory he unspeakable modesty, and a soda religion accompanied by all the moral virtues and Christian. They were always the only thought to fulfill the obligations of their state, and the study only innocent passion, from which he left to dominate and direct it to another tireless virtuously in the service of his Religion, and Public. Willingly undertook in benefit of others, and received benefits he kept indelible grateful memory. "
(Count Giordano Riccati – Supplement praise Ramiro Rampinelli – Treviso January 9, 1760).


In 1727, after a brief stay at the Monastery of St. Helen in Venice, he entered the Abbey of St. Benedict in [[Padua]], where he made the acquaintance of the best known professors of mathematics at the [[University of Padua]], such as Marquess [[Giovanni Poleni]] and Count [[Jacopo Riccati]]; he formed a lasting friendship with the latter's family.<ref>D.

Ramiro Rampinelli, born Lodovico Rampinelli (1697 – 1759), was an Italian mathematician and physicist. He was a monk in the Olivetan Order. He had a decisive influence on the spread of mathematical analysis, algebra and mathematical physics in the best universities of Italy.[1] He is one of the best known Italian scholars in the field of infinitesimal mathematics of the first half of the 18th century.

Biography

[edit]

He was born in Brescia into the noble Rampinelli family and educated by the Jesuits; he learned the rudiments of mathematics from Giovan Battista Mazini.[2]

He studied first at the University of Bologna, where he was a disciple of Gabriele Manfredi, and took his monastic vows on 1 November 1722 at San Michele in Bosco.[1]

In 1727, after a brief stay at the Monastery of St. Helen in Venice, he entered the Abbey of St. Benedict in Padua, where he made the acquaintance of the best known professors of mathematics at the University of Padua, such as Marquess Giovanni Poleni and Count Jacopo Riccati; he formed a lasting friendship with the latter's family.[3]

In 1731 he was in Rome for a year, spending time with Celestino Galiani and Antonio Leprotti, studying subjects including architecture.[1]

After a period at the University of Naples Federico II, during which time he was always in contact with the best mathematicians, such as Nicola Antonio De Martino, he was assigned by his superiors to the University of Pavia for a year. He then returned to the University of Bologna in 1733, to teach mathematics.[1] Here he completed his Istituzioni Fisiche con il metodo analitico.[4]

In 1740, after a stay at the monastery of St. Francis in Brescia, he transferred to the Olivetan monastery of San Vittore al Corso in Milan, where he was also mathematics tutor to the noblewoman Maria Gaetana Agnesi, who remembered him with gratitude in the preface to her Instituzioni Analitiche per la gioventù d'Italia.[5]

In 1747, the Senate of Milan appointed him (at double salary) to the chair in Mathematics and Physics at the University of Pavia.[6] His expertise in river hydraulics also earned him the appointment as supervisor both for the construction of the Pavia-Milan canal and for the construction of the embankment to contain the Po River at Parpanese, in the Oltrepò Pavese.[4]

Frontispiece of Rampinelli's Lectiones opticæ

In 1758 his Lectiones opticæ Ramiri Rampinelii brixiani Congregationis Montis Oliveti monachi et in gymnasio Ticinensi Matheseos Professoris was published with the prestigious Brescia printer Bossini.[1] This work on optics was to have been followed by Trigonometria and Applicazione dei principi matematici alla fisica pratica, but Rampinelli suffered a stroke on 10 April 1758.[7]

After a short period of recuperation in Brescia, he returned to the monastery of San Vittore al Corso in Milan, where, on 8 February 1759, he had a second stroke and died.[4]

Giordano Riccati wrote in a supplement to his eulogy dated 9 January 1760:

In him were united doctrine and an indescribable modesty, and firm religious faith accompanied by all the moral and Christian virtues. His only thoughts were ever to fulfill the obligations of his own condition, and study his only innocent passion, by which he let himself be dominated, virtuously directing it outward in indefatigable service of his Religion and the Public. He dedicated himself willingly to others' benefit, and of benefits received, an indelible, grateful memory was preserved.[8]
