Photographer Robert Rive (1817-68) was born in Breslau from a French Huguenot family, but was active in Italy from the 1850s with his younger brother Julius. In the mid 1860s he started using the more Italian 'Roberto'. Although he travelled around the county he had a studio in Naples. After Robert's death Julius continued the firm without changing the name.
