Encyclopedia : O : OT : OTT : Ottaviano-Fabrizio Mossotti
Ottaviano-Fabrizio Mossotti (1791-1863) was an Italian physicist exiled from Italy for his liberal ideas. He later taught astronomy and physics at the University of Buenos Aires. His name is associated with a type of multiple-element lens correcting spherical aberration and coma, but not chromatic aberration. The Clausius-Mossotti formula is partly named after him.
