Storia delle cinque gloriose giornate di Milano nel 1848
by Antonio Vismara
About the author
Born in Milan and active in the nineteenth century, Antonio Vismara is described in reliable catalog and reference sources as an Italian jurist, writer, and bibliographer. Some library records list him as 1839–1903, while the Italian Wikipedia entry for the jurist gives 2 February 1831–1903, so the exact birth year is not fully consistent across sources.
His work ranges from legal writing to popular history and literary bibliography. Among the titles associated with him are Storia della dinastia di Savoja, narrata al popolo ed all'esercito, Storia delle 5 gloriose giornate di Milano nel 1848, Bibliografia manzoniana, Materiali per una bibliografia del generale Giuseppe Garibaldi, and a bibliography of Vittorio Emanuele II.
That mix of subjects makes him an interesting figure for readers drawn to the intellectual world of post-unification Italy: part scholar, part public writer, and deeply engaged with the people, events, and authors that shaped modern Italian culture.
