Joseph Allegranza was a Milanese Dominican who won distinction as a historian, archaeologist, and antiquary.
From 1748 to 1754 Allegranza conducted research in northern and central Italy and in France. After being put in charge of the Royal Library at Milan, he made a catalogue of its contents, a work which was crowned, in 1775, by the Empress Maria Theresa.
