Federico Sclopis di Salerano (10 January 1798 – 8 March 1878) was an Italian statesman and jurist, best remembered for his role in the unification of Italy and his adjudication in the Alabama claims. ==Life== Born in Turin, to a noble family, Sclopis graduated in law and became an official in the administration of Prospero Balbo. In 1822 he became magistrate in Savoy and later president of the Court of Cassation. While still comparatively young he was appointed Attorney-General to the Sardinian Senate, and took part in the compilation of the new codes. An advocate of liberal ideas and reform, he proclaimed the necessity for a constitution, and was himself one of the authors of the ''Statuto albertino'', or Sardinian charter of 1848, which became the constitution of the Kingdom of Italy. The introduction is said to be entirely the work of Sclopis. Sclopis also wrote the proclamation in which Charles Albert announced to the people of Lombardy and Venetia his war against Austria. He was minister in the first Sardinian constitutional ministry under the presidency of Cesare Balbo, and afterwards president of the senate. In 1871 he was sent to Geneva as Victor Emmanuel II's representative on the ''Alabama'' arbitration, and was appointed president of that tribunal. The last years of his life were mainly occupied with municipal affairs and charitable administration in Turin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federico Sclopis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
