Gaetano Filangieri

Gaetano Filangieri is an Italian lawyer born with Naples in 1752, of a noble and old family: the Family Filangieri.

It was intended at the military state; but he preferred the study of the right, and was distinguished early with the bar. He occupied since 1777 several employment at the court and was called in 1787 at the supreme council of finances. A too assiduous application and domestic misfortunes shortened its life, and he died at the 36 years age, in 1788.

Filangieri was made a European name by the work entitled: Science of the legislation , where it treats general rules of the legislation and means of improving the existing laws, 1780 - 1788, 7 vol. in-8.

The work unfortunately remained unfinished; in what appeared about it, the author exposes the general rules of the legislation, then it applies them to the policy, the social economy, education, the state education, the religion.

This book was put at the Index Librorum Prohibitorum with Rome.

It was translated by Welsh Jean-Antoine, 1789 - 1791, 7 vol. in-8, and was annotated by Benjamin Constant, 1821, 6 volumes in-8.

His/her son is Carlo Filangieri, military Italian.
