Angelo Fortunato Formiggini

Born in Collegara (Modena) on June 21, 1878, the youngest of an ancient and wealthy Jewish Modenese family (name derived from the town of Formigine, attested from 1629). He founded his publishing house in 1908 (approximately 600 titles), created celebrated collections (« Profili », « I Classici del ridere »), the journal « L'Italia che scrive » (1918) and the biographical dictionary « Chi è? ». Struck by the racial laws of 1938, he threw himself on November 29, 1938 from the Ghirlandina tower of the Duomo of Modena to denounce the infamy of these laws.
