Abstract
The technical biography of Giuseppe Venturoli is presented with emphasis on the novel ideas he introduced and which contributed to the development of the science of hydraulics. He analyzed and performed experiments on flow through pipes and established the resistance formula in much the same form as known today. Moreover, it was he who first analyzed correctly the inertial aspect of flow establishment and who presented for the first time the elementary backwater differential equation for rectangular channels.
