Ernesto Schiaparelli ( July 12, 1856– 1928) was an Italian Egyptogist, who found Queen Nefertari's tomb in Deir al-Madinah in the Valley of the Queens ( 1904) and excavated the tomb of the royal architect Kha ( 1906),m found intact and displayed in toto in Turin. He was appointed director of the Egyptian Museum in Florence, where he professionally reorganized the collection in new quarters in 1880, then at the peak of his career director of the Museo Egizio di Torino, which became with him and his many seasons of excavating, the second biggest Egyptian museum in the world. He was the author of famous scholarly works and a Senator of the Kingdom of Italy.
