Maurizio Cornalba (born 17 January 1947) is an Italian mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry.
Cornalba completed his undergraduate studies at University of Pisa in 1969 und his graduate studies at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa in 1970. He was a postdoc at Princeton University from 1970 to 1971 and an assistant professor at the University of Pisa from 1971 to 1976; he was on leave of absence for the academic year 1971–1972 at Princeton University, for the academic year 1974–1975 at Harvard University, and for the academic year 1975–1976 at the University of California, Berkeley. At the University of Pavia he was a full professor from 1976 to 2017, when he retired as professor emeritus.[1]
