Giuseppe Emanuele Modigliani (28 October 1872 – 5 October 1947) was an Italian lawyer and politician.

Early life and education

[edit]

Giuseppe Emanuele Modigliani was born on 28 October 1872 in Livorno, in a wealthy Jewish family. His parents were Flaminio Modigliani and Eugenia Garsin, and he was the eldest of four brothers: Margherita Olimpia, Umberto Isacco, and Amedeo.[2]

Modigliani attended the liceo classico Niccolini Guerrazzi in Livorno. In 1890 he started studying Mathematics at the University of Pisa, later changing to Law.[2] He graduated in 1895 and his thesis was published.[3]

Political career

[edit]

His political activism started during his University years, and in 1894 he contributed to the creation of the Livornese section of the Italian Socialist Party. A year later, he was elected councillor of the municipality and appointed secretary of the Tuscan Socialist Federation.[1]

In 1922, after being expelled from the Italian Socialist Party, he was among the co-founders of the Unitary Socialist Party.[4] On 19 November of the same year, as Benito Mussolini was for the first time as prime minister giving a speech to the Parliament (later known as the Bivouac Speech [it]), Modigliani famously shouted Italian: Viva il Parlamento! (lit. Long live the Parliament).[5]
