Alessandro Galante Garrone Chair

The Chair, inaugurated on June 16, 2010, is dedicated to a great Piedmont figure who - first as a magistrate, then as a history professor at the University and collaborator of the newspaper "La Stampa" for almost half a century - fought for great and small freedoms of citizens, working for a better country which Bobbio called the "Italy of reason".

Inspired by the figure of the "meek Jacobin", the Chair is entrusted each year to a teacher who recognizes in him/herself the same commitment to justice and freedom, and is intended for twenty third and fourth year students of Law with the best curriculum studiorum.

In addition to the Course, the Chair is divided into three further sections: the Conference, the Dialogues and the Readings (for the programme of previous editions, see the menu on the left).

The Board, led by Massimo Vogliotti, is composed of Paolo Borgna, Franca D'Agostini, Simona Forti, Maurilio Guasco, Roberto Mazzola, Marco Revelli, Salvatore Rizzello and Gustavo Zagrebelsky.
