| Italian politician and prime minister (1900–1), born in Bistagno, Piedmont, NW Italy. A leftist liberal deputy (1851– 65), he then became a senator and public works minister (1887–9, 1893–6). As prime minister, he was faced with the serious crisis spanned by the murder of King Umberto I in Monza that same year. He reacted to the social unrest by using reactionary methods, and resigned in 1901. |
