Carlo Brogi was an Italian photographer and printmaker active from the 1870s through the early 20th century. He is primarily known for his large-format albumen prints and photogravures of Italian landscapes, architecture, and archaeological sites, which established a significant market for art photography in Europe during the late 19th century. Brogi's systematic documentation of Italy's cultural heritage, particularly Tuscany and Rome, combined technical precision with a romantic sensibility characteristic of the period.
