Augusto Monti

Augusto Monti (29 August 1881 in Monastero Bormida – 11 July 1966 in Rome) was an Italian writer and professor.

A strenuous opposer of fascism since its beginning, he was imprisoned by the regime. During post-World War 2, he became an important representative of the world of Italian literature and pedagogy.[1] He taught at Liceo Classico Massimo d'Azeglio in Turin.[2] Among his students there were Cesare Pavese, Giulio Einaudi, Leone Ginzburg, Norberto Bobbio, and Massimo Mila.[3]
