Renato Einaudi
was born in Turin on 4th July 1909. Einaudi graduated in Physics in 1931 and he got the qualification for university teaching in 1935.
One year later he became an annually appointed professor of Theoretic Mechanics with Elements of Graphic Statics and Drawing at the University of Messina. In Messina he taught also at the faculty of Sciences.
In 1937 Einaudi moved to the University of Modena and in 1938 to Turin University, where he became a full professor in December 1939.
On 1st November 1961 he passed to the faculty of Engineering of the Politecnico di Torino and on 1st November of 1964 to the same faculty of the University of Pisa.
His presence at the Politecnico di Torino was longer: from 1943 to 1963 he was an annually appointed lecturer in Analytical Geometry with elements of Projective, Theoretical Mechanics with elements of Graphic Statics and Drawing, plus Complements of Maths.
Thanks to Einaudi, the Institute of Theoretic Mechanics founded by himself and that he led from 1961 to 1964, moved his first steps. He was member of the Peloritana Academy of Messina and, from 1940, of the Academy of Sciences of Turin.
At the end of the Second World War, Einaudi managed to achieve the free availability of the Students' Home of via Galliari in Turin, occupied in the last period of the war by fascis bands who then left it in very poor conditions.
After becoming an extraordinary commissioner for the Institute, he started asking for funds to restore it. Since 1945 onwards the new boarding-house started hosting students more and more and in 1950 he was officially recognised as a University Boarding-House.
In 1952 Einaudi suggested to include within University Boarding-House, activities disappeared from the ancient Boarding-House Carlo Alberto, decayed due to financial reasons, and this way he achieved State contributions for one of the the two new pavilions, one destined to a women's boarding-house and the other for the students of the Politecnico.
In 1961 Einaudi got ill and after an advise by his physician he moved to Pisa where he could enjoy a milder climate (1964). In the meanwhile he was appointed as Premier (1962), but in 1972 he gave this office up due to health reasons.
He died in Pisa on 14th September of 1976.
