Abstract

Pilo Albertelli (1907-1944) was a historian of ancient philosophy. Having graduated in Philosophy at the University of Rome under the supervision of Guido Calogero, then he became Professor of History and Philosophy at the Umberto i Secondary School in Rome. His main contribution is a study on the Eleatic school (Gli Eleati, 1939). Political commitment constitutes another important chapter of his biography: he was among the founders of the Italian Partito d’azione, first, and later had a prominent role in the Roman Resistance. Although he was arrested and tortured, he refused to betray his companions, thus saving their lives at the expense of his own. On March 24, 1944 he was killed at Fosse Ardeatine. This paper presents his life and work, and focuses especially on his notion that ethical and virtuous conduct requires individuals to overcome individual gains and interests.
