Who was Carlo Somigliana?
Carlo Somigliana was an Italian mathematician and a classical mathematical physicist faithful to the school of Enrico Betti and Eugenio Beltrami. He made important contributions in elasticity. The Somigliana integral equation for elasticity is the equivalent of Green's formula for potential theory. He is also known for the Somigliana dislocations. His other contributions included seismic wave propagation and gravimetry. Also, one of his ancestors was Alessandro Volta: precisely the great Como physicist was an ancestor of Carlo's mother, Teresa Volta.
