( An outstanding scholar and political figure, Gaetano Sa...)
An outstanding scholar and political figure, Gaetano Salvemini had a reputation as one of the most courageous figures of his age. As a member of the Italian Socialist Party he championed social and political reform as a party activist, political commentator, and public officeholder. He fought for universal suffrage (including for women); in World War One he stood for his own version of a Wilsonian peace; and he is counted among the earliest and most effective opponents of Fascism. It was said that the Fascists were anti-Salvemini before he became anti-Fascist, and their efforts to silence him made his name synonymous with early Italian resistance to the new regime. A prominent exile in the United States, he resumed his scholarly work at Harvard through the help of friends and supporters. But never one to separate scholarship from political activity, he also continued to actively organize resistance to Mussolini, assisted others in escaping Italy, and played an important role in galvanizing both elite and public opinion in America against the Fascist regime. This groundbreaking biography is based on previously untapped archival resources.

historian politician university professor
Salvemini was born in Molfetta, Apulia.
University of Florence.
After graduating in literature in Florence in 1896, he taught History at the universities of Messina (during the 1908 Messina earthquake he was the only survivor of his entire family), Pisa and Florence. From 1919 to 1921 he served in Italian Parliament. After his arrest in 1925 for opposing the newly formed Italian fascist regime, he left Italy but continued to actively organise resistance to Benito Mussolini in France, England and finally in the United States. From 1930 to 1948 he lectured in History at Harvard University.
Salvemini founded the antifascist Mazzini Society in Northampton, Massachusetts in September 1939.
He obtained United States citizenship in 1940. In 1954 he retired to Italy.
He wrote mainly about recent and contemporary history, but was also noted for his studies of the medieval Italian commune. His The French Revolution: 1788–1792 (Norton, 1962) is an outstanding explanation of the social, political and philosophical currents (and monarchical incompetence) that led to that cataclysm.
He died in Sorrento in 1957.
He introduced economic and social analysis into Italian historiography. His work Magnati e popolani nelle commune di Firenze was considered the manifesto of the new Italian historiography. It won him a prize from the Accademia dei Lincei. He was among the first and most effective opponents of Fascism.
