In fact the family went back very many generations in their association with Sinigaglia and one of the members of the family in the 12th century had been Lamberto Scannabecchi who became Pope Honorius II in 1124.
Fagnano continued his father's work on the triangle and wrote an unpublished treatise on the topic.
He proved that given any triangle T, then the triangle whose vertices are the bases of the altitudes of T has these altitudes as the bisectors of its angles.

Generalising Fagnano's results, Euler went on to create a general theory of these integrals, in particular giving the famous addition formula for elliptic integrals.
He was involved in priority disputes with Nicolaus(I) Bernoulli and, not surprisingly, the big dispute of the day which was between the supporters of Newton and those of Leibniz.
Brook Taylor issued a challenge which Bernoulli and Fagnano both answered; the background and details of this controversy are studied in [Bul.

 Lemniscate - LoveToKnow 1911
Xnyviaicos, ribbon), a quartic curve invented by Jacques Bernoulli (Acta Eruditorum, 1694) and afterwards investigated by Giulio Carlo Fagnano, who gave its principal properties and applied it to effect the division of a quadrant into 2 2 m, 3.2 m and 5.2 m equal parts.
Following Archimedes, Fagnano desired the curve to be engraved on his tombstone.
The complete analytical treatment was first given by Leonhard Euler.

In his study of the rectification of the lemniscate, Fagnano introduced ingenious analytic transformations that laid the foundation for the theory of elliptic integrals and his work was to lead to elliptic functions.
In fact Fagnano had proved remarkable properties of the lemniscate, including the fact that its arcs may be divided in n equal parts using a ruler and compass construction, where n = 2

 Giulio Carlo de' Toschi di Fagnano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giulio Carlo, Count Fagnano, and Marquis de Toschi, (December 6, 1682 Sinigaglia - September 26, 1766) was an Italian mathematician.
Failing to rectify the ellipse or hyperbola, Fagnano attempted to determine arcs whose difference should be rectifiable.
He also pointed out the remarkable analogy existing between the integrals which represent the arc of a circle and the arc of a lemniscate.

The most eminent of them are Cramer, de Gua, De Montmort, Fagnano, l'Hospital, Nicole, Parent, Riccati, Saurin, and Varignon.
Guillaume François Antoine l'Hospital, Marquis de St.-Mesme, born in Paris in 1661, and died there on Feb. 2, 1704, was among the earliest pupils of John Bernoulli, who, in 1691, spent some months at l'Hospital's house in Paris for the purpose of teaching him the new calculus.
He had two sons who wrote on several minor points connected with the integral calculus and differential equations: these were Vincenzo, who was born in 1707 and died in 1775, and Giordano, who was born in 1709 and died in 1790.

He certainly did devote himself to mathematics, but largely he was self taught and did not have the benefit of studying with leading mathematicians.
On 23 July 1754 he published his first mathematical work which took the form of a letter written in Italian to Giulio Fagnano.
Perhaps most surprising was the name under which Lagrange wrote this paper, namely Luigi De la Grange Tournier.

However, the general properties of the lemniscate were first discovered by Giovanni Fagnano in 1750.
The infinity symbol can be found in several branches of science.
