Description:
"I was born in Italy in 1934, and educated there. In 1956, shortly after graduating in law at Padua, I became a graduate student in sociology at the University of California (Berkeley). In 1957-58 I worked in Rome as an assistant on an American political science research project, returning to Berkeley the following year, and studied chiefly under Lipset, Bendix, Kornhauser, Linz, Lowenthal. I left after two years to work on my doctoral dissertation on Italian Catholic Action.
I returned to Italy in 1961, and held my first post at the University of Florence in 1961-64. In 1964 I joined the Sociology dept. newly founded by T

I returned to Italy in 1961, and held my first post at the University of Florence in 1961-64. In 1964 I joined the Sociology dept. newly founded by Tom Burns at Edinburgh, and worked there for 24 years, first as lecturer, successively as reader and professor. In 1988 I joined the sociology faculty at the University of Virginia, which I left in 1965, returning to Italy in order to teach at the European University Institute (Florence). My current (and last!) post is at the University of Trento.
My two main research and teaching fields are modern political institutions (I have published three books and several essays on the state and related subjects) and the "classics" (I have published books, chapters, or essays on Tocqueville, Marx, Durkheim, Weber, and Simmel)."
