An Italian statesman and historian; born at Russi, Oct. 22, 1812; died Aug. 1, 1866. He studied medicine at Bologna, but early entered upon a political career, becoming Minister of Public Instruction in 1850, of Commerce in 1861, and President of the Council in 1862 during Cavour's administration. His influence contributed much to the union of Central Italy with the kingdom of Victor Emmanuel II. His "History of the Roman State from 1815 to 1850" (1850) was translated into English; and his "History of Italy", a continuation of Botta's celebrated work, is a performance of standard merit.
