Early life and education

Giugni was born in Genoa on 1 August 1927.[1][2] He graduated from the University of Genoa in 1949 receiving a degree in law.[3]

Career

Giugni was an expert on labour law.[4] He began his career as a professor at the University of Bari.[5] In 1968 he and Tiziano Treu founded the Italian Industrial Relations Research Association.[6] Giugni became the head of the national commission charged with drafting the workers' statute that passed in 1970.[7] He served as the director of the legislative office of the ministry of labour in the early 1980s. He also contributed to the economic agreement dated 22 January 1983.[8] The same year he became a member of the Italian senate, being a representative of the Italian Socialist Party.[9] He was reelected to the senate in 1987.[9]

From April 1993 to May 1994 Giugni served as the minister of labor and social security in the cabinet led by Prime Minister Carlo Azeglio Ciampi.[9] From 1994 to 1996 he was a member of the Italian parliament for the Progressive Left.[3] Following his retirement from politics he returned to his teaching post and taught labor law-related courses at Sapienza University of Rome and at LUISS.[1][10] He also taught at the various universities, including Nanterre University, Paris University, UCLA, Buenos Aires University and Columbia University.[11] He served as the president of the Italian Association of Labour Law and Safety.[12] He was also a member of the Academy of Europe.[10] He published articles in the Italian daily La Repubblica and the monthly Il Mulino.[12]

Works

Giugni was one of the leading Italian scholars who developed connections between labor relations and sociology.[13] He is the author of several books, including the following: Introduzione allo studio dell'autonomia collettiva (1960), Il sindacato fra contratti e riforme (1972), Lavoro, legge, contratti (1989) and L'intervista Fondata sul lavoro? (1994).[12][14]

Assassination attempt

Giugni was wounded in legs in an attack in Rome on 3 May 1983 when he was teaching at the university and serving as the director at the ministry of labor.[8][15][16] The attack occurred after Giugni left his office at the university.[8] Perpetrators, one man and a woman, have not been identified and arrested.[8] A group linked to the Red Brigades claimed the responsibility of the attack.[17]

Death

Giugni died in Rome on 5 October 2009 after long illness.[10][11] He was 82.[9]
