| biography:
| Italian politician and prime minister (1921–2, 1944–5), born in Mantua, Lombardy, N Italy. A socialist deputy from 1909, he was expelled from the party with Bissolati-Bergamaschi at the Reggio Emilia Congress for his moderate views and support for the Libyan venture. He held a number of cabinet posts between 1916 and 1921 and became prime minister (1921–2), but was unable to confront Fascist violence. He was briefly prime minister again (1944–5) and president of the senate (1948–51). |
