Alessandro Barsanti (1858–1917) was an Italian
architect and
Egyptologist who worked for the Egyptian Antiquities Service. He excavated throughout Egypt (most notably he 'discovered' the
tomb of
Akhenaten in 1891–1892). He was also in charge of the transfer of collection of the
Cairo Museum from its site at
Giza to the current location in
Cairo itself.
