Carlo Naya
Tronzano Vercellese, Italy, 1816 - 1882, Venice
Naya was born in Tronzano di Vercelli in 1816 and studied law at the University of Pisa. An inheritance allowed him to travel to major cities in Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. He was advertising his services as portrait photographer in Istanbul in 1845,[1] and opened his studio in Venice in 1857. He sold his work through photographer and optician Carlo Ponti.
Following Naya's death in 1882, his studio was run by his wife, then by her second husband. In 1918 it was closed and publisher Osvaldo Böhm bought most of Naya's archive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Naya
