Life
Atto Vannucci was originally intended for the clergy but left the seminary to devote himself to historical studies. At the age of 23 he got a job as a professor of humanities and later history at the Collegio Cicognini in Prato.
As a politically committed lecturer, Vannucci was involved in the political processes of the Risorgimento from the start . During the revolutionary years of 1848/49 he lived a few years as an exile abroad: in France , England , Belgium , Switzerland , where he taught universal history in 1852/53 . He later lived and worked in France again and was able to return to Florence in 1856.
By the new Italian government under Prime Minister Camillo Benso von Cavour , Vannucci was rehabilitated and in 1859 appointed librarian at the Biblioteca Magliabechiana . As such, he later accepted a position as professor for Roman literature at the Istituto di studi superiori in Florence. In 1848 he was admitted to the Accademia della Crusca , in 1865 he was appointed Senator of the Kingdom , and in 1875 he was admitted to the Accademia dei Lincei . In 1878 Vannucci resigned from all offices and settled in Florence. There he died at the age of 74 on June 10, 1883.
