Vicente Gallo was an Argentine lawyer, academic and politician of the Radical Civic Union.
He joined the Radical Civic Union from its inception, forming part of a group of young people that worked with Hipólito Yrigoyen in the mid-1890s.
Elected National Deputy in 1912 and senator in 1919, always representing the city of Buenos Aires.
In 1920 he was one of the founding members of the Liga Patriótica, a para-police organization. [1].
In 1923 he became Minister of the Interior for president Marcelo T. de Alvear, resigning in 1926 when President Alvear declined to support his proposed federal intervention in Buenos Aires Province to combat Hipólito Yrigoyen and his movement.
In 1924 he was part of a group of Radical Party members who formed the splinter group Antipersonalist Radical Civic Union and he was a candidate for Vice-President for this party, as second to Leopoldo Melo in 1928, losing soundly to Hipólito Yrigoyen.
Between 1934 and 1941 he was Dean of the Universidad de Buenos Aires, where he was a professor in Administrative Law.
