Giovanni Giolitti

Italian statesman (1842–1928)

Giovanni Giolitti is remembered in public life for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Giovanni Giolitti as Italian statesman (1842–1928).

Giovanni Giolitti was born at Mondovì in 1842. His recorded nationality is the Kingdom of Italy. He was educated at University of Turin.

The nineteenth century professionalised nearly everything: salaried posts, formal training, and audiences large enough to sustain a career.

Giovanni Giolitti is described as politician and statesperson.

What survives of a political career is usually not the speeches but the institutions left behind.

His recorded fields of work are politics.

Formal recognition came in the shape of the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus.

Working from the Kingdom of Italy shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.

Death came in 1928, at 86. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
