Costantino Costantini was born in Pisino, Istria (now Pazin, Croatia, then part of the Austrian Empire) to lawyer and politician Francesco Costantini, the founder of the Società politica istriana, and Clotilde Mrach, from a Pisino family of landowners and politicians.[2][3]

He was a lawyer. He became Director of the Council for Tax Administration of Pisino, and then was Head of the Council of Administration of the Comune of Pisino since 1894, later becoming vice-podestà.[4][5] From 1900 until 1911 he was deputy of the Diet of Istria for the college of the cities of Pisino (Pazin) and Albona (Labin).[5] After the Revolution, when Pisino became part of Italy, he was Special Commissioner of Pisino.[5]
