Michele Stefano de Rossi (30 October 1834,
archaeologist Giovanni Battista de Rossi
(1822–1894).
He received his education at the
vulcanology and seismology. He studied the topography of catacombs
, and collaborated with his brother on La Roma sotterranea cristiana (1864–1877).
In the 1870s he developed a
limnologist François-Alphonse Forel (1841–1912) created a similar seismic scale. When the two scientists became aware of each other's work, a combined effort resulted in the Rossi–Forel scale
for determining the intensity of earthquakes.
In 1874 he founded the Bullettino del Vulcanismo Italiano, a journal dedicated to the study of
volcanoes and earthquakes.[1]
