Robert Julius Rive was a Prussian-born photographer that opened his studio in Naples around the 1850s. After several years working in this country he changed his name to Roberto Rive. Rive conducted a series of systematic photographic campaigns around Italy. The main collections of his work are the photos from Pompei and Rome in the 1860s and 1870s. After his death in 1868, his brother Julius Otto took over the studio until 1888.
