resume

Felix Pino, who comes from a Lombard family, attended the Schottengymnasium and then studied law at the University of Vienna from 1845 to 1848. He entered the civil service in 1849 and was employed by the Criminal Court in Graz and the Central Sea Authority in Trieste . After he switched to political administration, he worked in Belluno and Gorizia around 1859 . In 1867 he was district captain of Baden in Lower Austria and later of Gorizia. From 1870 to 1874 and from 1887 to 1890 he was state president of Bukovina . During his first term as President of the State, he was involved in the preparatory work for the establishment of the University of Chernivtsi .

Pino was elected as a liberal member of the state parliament of Bukovina in 1870 and in the Imperial Council in 1871 . From 1874 to 1879 he was governor of the coastal lands ( Istria , County of Gorizia and Gradisca and Trieste ), from 1879 to 1881 governor of Austria on the Enns . From 1881 to 1886 he was Minister of Commerce of Cisleithanien in the Taaffe cabinet , where he was particularly concerned with the organization of the state railways and the introduction of the postal savings bank . Furthermore, he showed socio-political interests in the reform of the trade regulations. Through his unbureaucratic management and his lifestyle he had opponents all his life, although his personal correctness was beyond doubt. After he was forced to resign in 1886, he was, as already mentioned, again President of the Bukovina and retired as the latter in 1890. On April 14, 1906, Pino von Friedenthal died at the age of 80 in St. Ruprecht near Völkermarkt in Carinthia .
