Carlo Naya

Background

Carlo Naya was born on August 25, 1816, in Tronzano Vercellese, Piemonte, Italy.

Education

Carlo Naya studied law at the University of Pisa.

Career

An inheritance allowed him to travel to major cities in Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. Carlo Naya was advertising his services as a portrait photographer in Istanbul in 1845 and opened his studio in Venice in 1857. He sold his work through photographer and optician Carlo Ponti. Following Carlo Naya's death in 1882, his studio was run by his wife, then by her second husband. In 1918 it was closed and publisher Osvaldo Böhm bought most of Naya's archive.
