Giovanni Antonio Giobert also known as Jean-Antoine Giobert (27 October 1761 in Mongardino - 14 September 1834 in Millefiori) was an Italian chemist and mineralogist[1] who studied magnetism, galvanism,[2] and agricultural chemistry.[3][1] He introduced Antoine Lavoisier's theories to Italy, and built a phosphorus-based[4] eudiometer sufficiently sensitive to measure atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen.[5][6] He identified the correct composition of the mineral Gioberite, a form of magnesite (MgCO3) found in the Piedmont area.[7] He was made a knight (Cavaliere) for his work on the chemistry of indigo dyes.[8]
