The family of Spinola was of very long standing and had great wealth and power in [[Genoa]]. Maximilian Spinosa was a descendant of the famous Spanish General [[Ambrogio Spinola, marqués de los Balbases]] (1569-1630) and much of his wealth derived from land held in [[Spain]] and [[South America]]. ==Research== He received many [[insect]]s from his properties in Spain and South America. He also made extensive, and expensive purchases especially of large showy [[Tropics|tropical]] [[beetle]]s and [[wasp]]s. His entomological contributions were mainly in the orders [[Coleoptera]], [[Hymenoptera]] and [[Hemiptera]]. Spinola made very important contributions to [[entomology]], describing many [[taxa]] , especially in Spinola M. M., 1850.''Tavola sinottica dei generi spettani all classe degli insetti Arthroidignati, Hemiptera Linn., Latr. - Rhyngota Fab. - Rhynchota Burm.''

Spinola's [[Coleoptera]] (with [[type (zoology)|type]]s purchased from [[Pierre Françoise Marie Auguste Dejean|Dejean]]), [[Hymenoptera]] (with types purchased from [[Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville|Audinet-Serville]] and [[Amédée Louis Michel Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau|Lepeletier]] and specimens from the [[Pierre André Latreille]] Collection), [[Heteroptera]] and [[Homoptera]] collections are in [[Turin Museum of Natural History|Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali]] in [[Turin]], [[Italy]]. Other specimens are in [[Museo storia naturale di Pisa]]. Most of his type specimens are extant and in good condition. He died in [[Tassarolo]], [[Province of Alessandria|Alessandria]], Italy. ==Works== *1806.
