Angelo Sismonda (Ange Sismonda) was an Italian mineralogist and geologist based in Turin during the Risorgimento who produced pioneering maps of Alps Kingdom Sardinia. Well known his lifetime, he is now mentioned only passing by historians no comprehensive bibliography work exists. To render more accessible, we present a short biography bibliography.
