Cristoforo Negri is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.
The record lists Cristoforo Negri as Italian geographer, economist and diplomat (1809-1896).
Cristoforo Negri was born at Milan in 1809. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Italy.
Enlightenment expeditions carried naturalists and instruments; the Pacific was charted with chronometers and the intention of measuring, not merely claiming.
He is recorded as economist, diplomat and geographer.
What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.
Cristoforo Negri died in 1896, aged 87. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
