Federico Spantigati
was born in Alexandria on 4th April 1831. When he was very young, he got a position at the College of Provinces and continued his studies at the faculty of Law at the University of Turin.
He graduated in 1851. Spantigati started his legal carreer under the support by Urbano Rattazzi.
After aggregating into the faculty of Law, he got the temporary teaching for the chair of International Law. In 1859 Spantigati was nominated by the Government as a member of the commission aimed at reforming the Civil Code. Together with other known and famous jurists, Spantigati deeply worked for formulating the first code of civil legislation, properly studied for the united Italy.
Later on he returned to teach at the chair of Law in the School of War of Turin. Elected deputy in the constituency of Bra, Spantigati started his political career.
In next legislations, who saw him always confirmed as a deputy, Spantigati cared for different issues, ranging from problems of school institutions to tax and legal subjects, such as the reformation of the commercial code.
Favourable to the line of a stiff reconstitution of public debts followed by governments of the historic Right, Spantigati supported the most unpopular measures such as the grist-tax and sugar tax.
Since 1876 Spantigati got the office of deputy president at the Chamber of deputies.
In addition to the parliamentary activity which was prioritary, Spantigati played a first class role in local bodies. Member of the administrative Council of Alexandria province and Turin municipality, Spantigati from 1879 to 1884 was president of the Royal Italian Industrial Museum. Spantigati, who took the presidency in the same time when the new regulation of 1879 entered into force, much with his passion engaged for relaunching the Museum. He died in Turin on 30th October 1884.
