Enrico Bompiani
Enrico Bompiani (12 February 1889, Rome – 22 September 1975, Rome) was an Italian mathematician, specializing in differential geometry.
Bompiani received his Ph.D. (laurea) in 1910 under Guido Castelnuovo at the Sapienza University of Rome with thesis "Spazio rigato a quattro dimensioni e spazio cerchiato ordinario". Until 1913 he remained in Rome as an assistant to Castelnuovo and then from 16 October 1913 to 30 October 1915 he was at the University of Pavia. In December 1915 he became a docent lecturing on analytic
an assistant professor first to the chair of mathematical analysis held by Francesco Severi and then to the chair of geometry held by Enrico Bompiani. In 1939 he became "Libero Docente" (free professor) of Mathematical analysis: he taught also courses on analytic geometry, algebraic geometry and topology as associate professor. In 1946 he won a competitive examination by a judging commission for the chair of ""Geometria analitica con elementi di Geometria Proiettiva e Geometria Descrittiva con Disegno"", awarded by the University of Genova: the second place
