Gian Domenico Romagnosi (11 December 1761 – 8 June 1835) was an Italian philosopher, economist and jurist.
Romagnosi was born in Salsomaggiore Terme. He 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 1820 discovery of a better form of the relationship.[1] Romagnosi's account of an electrostatic charge from a voltaic pile deflecting a magnetic needle, published in an Italian newspaper, was largely overlooked by the contemporary scientific community.
