Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri (1667–1733) was an Italian mathematician and philosopher, best known for his work in the field of non-Euclidean geometry. He is often considered one of the pioneers of this field due to his efforts to explore the implications of assuming alternatives to Euclid's parallel postulate, which is a foundational element of Euclidean geometry.
