An eminent Italian historian; born near Canavese in the Piedmontese, Nov. 6, 1766; died Aug. 10, 1837. For his sympathy with the French Revolution he suffered imprisonment two years, and then went to France, where he entered the military service as surgeon. He afterward held several offices of responsibility under the empire and the restored monarchy. Besides numerous minor works in French, he published in Italian (1809) a "History of the War of Independence of the United States of America"; and (1824) a "History of Italy from 1789 to 1814", in four volumes. He also continued Guicciardini from 1535 to 1789 (10 vols.).
