Biography

Corbino was born in Augusta, Sicily, in 1890.[2] He was the brother of Orso Mario Corbino, a politician served in the cabinets of Mussolini.[3]

Epicarmo Corbino was promoted to professorship at the University of Naples in 1923.[2] He was the minister of industry and commerce in the government of Salerno between 11 February and 17 April 1944.[2] He served as minister of the treasury in the first and second cabinets of Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi from December 1945 to September 1946 when he resigned from the office.[2][4] Corbino was member of the National Council and then, of the Constituent Assembly until 1953 for the Liberal party.[2]

Carbino left the Liberal Party before the general elections in 1953 and co-founded and headed the National Democratic Alliance in the elections.[5] He collaborated with former Prime Minister Ferruccio Parri in the establishment of the party.[6] However, the party did not manage to win a seat at the parliament.[5]

Between 1959 and 1965 Corbino was the president of the Banco di Napoli.[2] He died in Naples in 1984.[2]

Views and work

As an economist Corbino belonged to the classical school of economics in addition to Marcello Soleri, Pietro Campilli, Luigi Einaudi and Gustavo Del Vecchio.[7][8] He described himself as an advocate of the approach developed by British economist Alfred Marshall.[4] Therefore, he was an ardent supporter of free enterprise.[4] During the Fascist period Corbino and other liberal economists, including Attilio Cabiati, Edoardo Giretti and Luigi Einaudi did not become closer to the regime.[1]

He was author of many books. Later he also published studies of environmental problems, being one of the pioneers in this field in Italy.[9]
