[edit] Nationality

The current article mentions Risso as a French naturalist. But here, Giovanni Antonio Risso (born 1777 in Nizza) is described as an Italian scientist, chemist in Nizza until 1826 and from 1832 professor there of chemistry and botany. Was Nice/Nizza French in 1777? Did Italy exist? Apparently he wrote in French. Should we perhaps leave the nationality out and only mention the city? --LA2 23:01, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
