Depretis, Agostino

born Jan. 13, 1813, Mezzana Corti, Kingdom of Italy
died July 29, 1887, Stradella, Italy

Italian politician.

In 1848 he was elected to the first Piedmontese parliament and was reelected thereafter until his death. After Italy was unified, he served in several cabinet posts (1862–67). He became premier in 1876 and was the dominant force in Italian politics until 1887. Among his notable achievements were the signing of the Triple Alliance and his government policy of trasformismo, bringing together members of different parties in the same cabinet.

▪ premier of Italy
born Jan. 13, 1813, Mezzana Corti, Kingdom of Italy
died July 29, 1887, Stradella, Italy

      Italian statesman, a leftist figure in the Risorgimento who later served three times as premier of Italy. He provided a fairly stable government by the tactics of trasformismo, which brought together members of different parties in the same Cabinet.

      After graduating from law school at Pavia (1834), he spent several years running his family's estate. In 1848, the year of revolutionary upheavals in Europe, he was elected deputy to the first Piedmontese Parliament, a position he held continuously until his death. As a deputy he consistently opposed Count Cavour, the premier of the kingdom of Piedmont–Sardinia.

      Probably because he foresaw its failure, Depretis did not participate directly in the 1853 uprising in Milan planned by Giuseppe Mazzini, the extreme-left nationalist. After Cavour's resignation in 1859, Depretis briefly served as governor of Brescia in the province of Lombardy, which Piedmont had newly annexed from Austria.

      Italy was politically unified in 1861, and Depretis became successively minister of public works (1862), minister of the navy (1866), and minister of finance (1867) in the weak national governments that followed unification. As nominal head of the leftists after Urbano Rattazzi's death in 1873, Depretis was invited to become premier in March 1876. For the next 11 years he was the dominant force in Italian politics. A scandal in March 1878 brought down his government before his moderately liberal reforms could be introduced. Returning to power in December 1878, he formed a more conservative government that lasted eight months.

      In May 1881 Depretis organized a government that lasted until July 1887, a period notable for its lack of change. The major reform achieved by his government was the extension of suffrage from 2 percent to 7 percent of the population (1882).

      In 1882 Depretis signed the Triple Alliance, which allied Italy with Austria–Hungary and Germany. He was then persuaded to colonize Africa. When 500 Italian troops were killed by Ethiopians at the Battle of Dogali in January 1887, his government resigned. In April Depretis was again chosen as prime minister, but he died in office a few months later.

      The diverse and unstable parties and factions in early Italian national politics made strict party government almost impossible. In response to this problem, Depretis perfected the art of trasformismo (“transformism”), by which, in order to build up his own personal following in parliament, he ignored party labels and took ministers from both the right and left. A prime minister could stay in office longer by means of the shifting government coalitions thus created. Cavour had done much the same thing as Italy's first prime minister, but under Depretis this practice became the established technique of Italian parliamentarism.
