Reply to comment by Tankeverket in TIL Amedeo Avogadro's contribution to chemistry, known as Avogadro's law, did not initially receive much attention when he published his paper in 1811. It was only a century later that his work was recognized, when the King of Italy attended a meeting commemorating the paper's 100th anniversary. by dustofoblivion123

Jeez, read the article. In his other, less well known paper he said "I won't feel like I've really made it until Italian royalty recognizes my contribution."
