Paolo Emiliani Giudici, an Italian author, born at Mussomelli, Sicily, June 13, 1812. He removed to Florence in 1840, and in 1844 published Storia della letteratura italiana (2 vols., 2d ed., 1853). He was professor at the university of Pisa from 1849 to 1852, and of aesthetics at the royal academy of fine arts in Florence from 1859 to 1862, of which he became secretary. In 1867 he was returned, to the Italian parliament as a deputy for Sicily. His Storia del comuni (3 vols., 1853-'4), a remarkable work, with new documentary evidence relating to the Italian communes, was followed in 1856 by his translation into Italian of Macaulay's"History of England," and in 1860 by his Storia del tea-tro italiano; and he has long been engaged upon a history of the Florentine democracy.
