François Zola (born Francesco Antonio Guiseppe Maria Zolla; 7 August 1796 – 27 March 1847) was an Italian-born French engineer. He built the Zola Dam, creating Lac Zola near Le Tholonet in Aix-en-Provence.[1]
Zola was an Italian engineer with some Greek ancestry,[2] who was born in Venice in 1795; his mother was French.[3]
He lived in Paris with his wife Émilie Aubert when their son, the author Émile Zola, was born in 1840.[1] The family moved to Aix-en-Provence when Émile was three years old. François died four years later, in 1847.
