Vito Fumagalli
Vito Fumagalli (born June 15, 1938 in Bardi , Province of Parma , † April 14, 1997 ) was an Italian medieval historian and member of the Camera dei deputati in the XII. Legislative period (April 15, 1994 - May 8, 1996).
In 1957 he received a scholarship at the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa and studied medieval history at the university there with Arsenio Frugoni , Cinzio Violante , Giovanni Miccoli and Ottorino Bertolini , where he received his doctorate in 1961 with a thesis on Gerald von Aurillac . He then worked as a high school teacher for five years. Under Gerd Tellenbach , he carried out research from 1966 to 1969 as an assistant at the German Historical Institute in Rome, because the cooperation with Italian history should also be anchored institutionally and Fumagalli's studies of regional history on the Margraves of Canossa fit well with Tellenbach's concept. This was followed by a year as an unpaid assistant to Nicola Cilento at the University of Macerata . In 1970 he succeeded Girolamo Arnaldi in Bologna . In 1984 he was elected to the Scientific Advisory Board of the Centro Italiano di Studi sull'Alto Medioevo .
Fumagalli, directly elected in the constituency of Parma-Collecchio in 1994, was a member of the left-wing Progressisti - Federativo parliamentary group , headed by Luigi Berlinguer and who also included Giorgio Napolitano , Livia Turco , Giovanna Melandri , Anna Finocchiaro , Fabio Mussi , Vincenzo Visco , Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio , Achille Occhetto , Walter Veltroni or Nilde Iotti belonged. Fumagalli was a member of the Commissione Cultura della Camera .
