Giuseppe Antonio Borgese (1882–1952) - Scholar
Born in Sicily, Borgese taught German literature and aesthetics at the universities of Turin, Rome and Milan until 1931 when, due to his opposition of the Fascist regime, he was forced to move to the United States.
He was the William Allan Neilson Professor at Smith College from 1932 to 1935, and then professor in the Universities of Chicago and California until the end of World War II, making friends with Thomas Mann and marrying his youngest daughter Elisabeth.
In the United States Brgese declared himself a political exile and became an American citizen in 1938. When the Italian-American antifascist Mazzini Society was founded in 1939, Borgese joined it.
He returned to Milan after the war, in 1945.
