Pietro Custodi (29 November 1771 – 15 May 1842) was an Italian economiist and journalist.
Biography
[edit]Born in Galliate, near Novara, Custodi was by profession a lawyer, but soon entered into journalism and directed the newspaper L'Amico della libertà italiana.[1] He was arrested by Napoleon but freed after the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy and appointed secretary-general of the finance department in Milan.[1] Later he was made a baron and became a state councilor. He died in Galbiate, near Milan, in 1842.[2]
Custodi continued Pietro Verri's History of Milan and edited the unpublished works of Baretti; as an economist he is widely known as the editor of a collection of the principal Italian economists in fifty volumes.[3]
Works
[edit]His greatest contribution to economics was the compilation of 50 volumes of Italian essays and articles on political economy, Scrittori classici italiani di economia politica (1803-16). Many of these papers, written from the earliest times to the beginning of the 19th century, had not been published before.[4] In 1824 Custodi founded, together with Gioia and Romagnosi, the Annali Universali di Statistica, one of the first Italian economic reviews.[5]
