Salmoiraghi (Filotecnica Ing. A. Salmoiraghi S.A.) was an optical company in Milan. According to Storia della Fotografia, the firm began as a laboratory/workshop making very limited numbers of experimental instruments, started by scientist and inventor Ignazio Porro.[1] Alessandro Duroni (later of Murer & Duroni) was involved in the establishment. Angelo Salmoiraghi joined Porro after Duroni died, and re-ordered the establishment as a more commercial venture when Porro himself died in 1875. The company made navigational, surveying, astronomical and other instruments,[2] and increasingly, photographic optics, including an aerial camera for military use in the First World War. Salmoiraghi died in 1939; the company name remains in the Italian retail opticians Salmoiraghi & Vigano.

Notes
- ↑ Salmoiraghi at Storia della Fotografia (archived).
- ↑ Examples (all offered for sale at Ebay in February 2015):
- Opera glasses (item 171668603364)
- A fleximeter (for measuring the bending of structural elements under load; item 261773731896)
- A theodolite (item 201274043495)
- A set of drawing compasses (item 261773778024)
- ↑ The page on Salmoiraghi at Dario Mondonico's mistermondo site shows a number of cameras. What is plainly a rebadged Metharette was previously listed as the Gioia, but is now named the Venus. Its lens is certainly a Venus.
- ↑ Rectaflex Junior with a Salmoiraghi 5 cm f/3.5 Beta, sold at the 24th Camera Auction by Westlicht Photographica Auction, in November 2013.
