Gian Domenico Romagnosi
Gian Domenico Romagnosi (1761-1835) was an Italian philosopher, economist and jurist. Romagnosi is believed to be the first person to publish, in 1802, an account suggesting a relationship between electricity and magnetism, about two decades before Hans Christian Ørsted's 1819 discovery of the same relationship. Romagosi's account of an electric current from a voltaic pile deflecting a magnetic needle, published in an Italian newspaper, was largely overlooked by the contemporary scientific community.
