Eugenio Colorni
Eugenio Colorni (22 April 1909 - 20 May 1944) was an Italian philosopher and anti-fascist activist.[1]
Life
Born in Milan, Colorni taught philosophy at the University of Trieste, and was active in the anti-fascist Giustizia e Libertà movement. He married Ursula Hirschman, and was an important influence on her brother Albert O. Hirschman.[2] (Hirschmann dedicated his book Exit, Voice, and Loyalty to Colorni's memory.[3]) In 1938 he was arrested for his anti-fascist political activity. He escaped but was killed in Rome by a Nazi ambush in 1944, shortly before the Allies arrived.[1]
