CORRENTI, CESARE (1815-1888)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 196 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORRENTI, CESARE (1815-1888) , Italian revolutionist and politician, was born on the 3rd of January 1815, at
Milan
 , of a poor but noble family. While employed in the public debt administration, he flooded Lombardy with revolutionary pamphlets designed to excite hatred against the Austrians, and in 1848 proposed the general abstention of the Milanese from smoking, which gave rise to the insurrection known as the Five Days. During the revolt he was one of the leading spirits of the operations of the insurgents. Until the reoccupation of
Milan
  by the Austrians he was secretary-general of the provisional government, but afterwards he fled to Piedmont, whence he again distributed his revolutionary pamphlets throughout Lombardy, earning a
precarious
  livelihood by journalism. Elected
deputy
  in 1849, he worked strenuously for the national cause, supporting Cavour in his Crimean policy, although he belonged to the Left. After the annexation of Lombardy he was made
commissioner
  for the liquidation of the Lombardo-Venetian debt, in 186o was
appointed councillor of state, and received various other public positions, especially in connexion with the railway and
financial
  administration. He veered round to the Right, and in 1867 and again in 1869 he held the
portfolio
  of education; he played an important
part
  in the events consequent upon the occupation of Rome, and helped to draft the Law of Guarantees. As minister of education he suppressed the theological faculties in the Italian universities, but eventually resigned office and allied himself with the Left again on account of conservative opposition to his reforms. His defection from the Right ultimately assured the advent of the Left to power in 1876; and while declining office, he remained
chief
  adviser of Agostino
Depretis
  until the latter's death. On several occasionsnotably in connexion with the redemption of the Italian railways, and with the Paris exhibition of 1878he acted as representative of the government. In 1877 he was given the lucrative appointment of secretary of the order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus by
Depretis
 , and in 1886 was created senator. He died at Rome on the 4th of October 1888. He left a considerable
body
  of writings on a variety of subjects, none of which is of exceptional merit.
