Gioacchino Volpe (16 February 1876 – 1 October 1971) was an Italian historian and, during the years between the two world wars, a politician.

Biography

Born in Paganica, Volpe graduated in Letters at the University of Pisa, and in 1906 he became professor of modern history at the Scientific-Literary Academy of Milan (it).[1] A nationalist, he supported the Fascism and in 1924 was elected deputy with the National List.[1] He was General Secretary of the Royal Academy of Italy from 1929 to 1934 and member of the Accademia dei Lincei from 1935 to 1946.[1] Between 1924 and 1940 he was professor of modern history at the University of Rome.[1]

In his works Volpe depicted the history of Italy as a rising process culminated in fascism.[1] After the Greco-Italian War, his attitude towards fascism gradually became critical and distant.[1] After the war, he was purged from the university teaching and focused on his studies.[1]
