Alberto Guglielmotti (3 February 1812 - 31 October 1893) was a Dominican order priest and writer. He was best recognized for his histories about the naval battles and exploits of seamen from the Italian peninsula.

He was born in Civitavecchia, baptized al secolo as Francesco Maria Guglielmotti. he father was an officer of the Marine, who served as councillor in Ragusa, Sicily and Civitavecchia. After attending seminary in Rome, he served as professor of physics and mathematics at the Minerva school. He later became librarian of the Biblioteca Casanatense.

He soon dedicated himself to writing mainly about naval history. Including I Bastioni d'Antonio di Sangallo per fortificare Civitavecchia (1860). His first major book was Marcantonio Colonna alla Battaglia di Lepanto (1862). Ten years later, he published Storia della Marina Pontificia nel medievo; by 1893, this had expanded to the history to ten volumes chronicling from dal principio a noi. He published La guerra dei pirati e la Marina pontificia del 1500-1560 (1876) which detailed the predations by Barbary pirates and the response of the Papal navies. [1]

The Accademia dei Lincei, anglicised as the Lincean Academy, is one of the oldest and most prestigious European scientific institutions, located at the Palazzo Corsini on the Via della Lungara in Rome, Italy. Founded in the Papal States in 1603 by Federico Cesi, the academy was named after the lynx, an animal whose sharp vision symbolizes the observational prowess that science requires. Galileo Galilei was the intellectual centre of the academy and adopted "Galileo Galilei Linceo" as his signature. "The Lincei did not long survive the death in 1630 of Cesi, its founder and patron", and "disappeared in 1651".
