- MODIGLIANI, VITTORIO EMANUELE (1872–1947), Italian lawyer and
politician; brother of the artist amedeo modigliani . Born in
Leghorn, Modigliani joined the Socialist party as a student. From 1913
to 1924 he sat as a Socialist in the Italian parliament. He opposed
Italian participation in World War I and supported the
formula of a peace without victor or vanquished. In 1924 Modigliani
joined the rest of his party in abstaining from all parliamentary
activity, in protest against the new Fascist law making parliamentary
opposition ineffective. He appeared for the prosecution in the Giacomo
Matteotti trial in 1923–24 in which leading Fascists were accused of
complicity in Matteotti's assassination. Soon afterward he left Italy in
protest against the Fascist regime and lived in Austria and France,
where he was a virulent opponent of Fascism. Modigliani participated in
the formation of a socialist pro-Palestine committee formed in Brussels.
He returned to Italy in 1945 and was elected a deputy to the constituent
assembly and chairman of the Italian Socialist Party.
