Pincherle was born in Trieste (part of Austria at the time) of a Jewish family. A student of Betti and taught by Dini, he worked on functional equations and functional analysis. He was much influenced by Weierstrass and can claim, together with Volterra, to be the founder of functional analysis. He worked in Bologna.
