Enrico de Nicola is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.
The record lists Enrico de Nicola as President of Italy from 1946 to 1948.
Enrico de Nicola was born at Naples in 1877. His recorded nationality is Italy.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, national institutions, mass media and mass politics changed both the scale of a career and its risks.
The record gives his occupations as politician, lawyer and judge.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
The honours are a fair index of how the work was received - Knight Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic (1956) and Grand Cross 1st class of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Working from Italy shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Enrico de Nicola died in 1959 at the age of 82. The work outlived the arguments around it.
