Abstract: Abstract A brief reconstruction is attempted of the scientific figure of Pietro Burgatti (1868–1938) by giving some detail on his more significant contributions to mathematics: general vector calculus, hyperbolic partial differential equations, analytical mechanics. An attempt is also made to put Burgatti’s contributions into the perspective of Italian mathematics of his times.
