Count Giuseppe Prina (20 July 1766 in Novara - 20 April 1814) was an Italian statesman killed in the Milan riots of 1814. == Biography == Prina gave early evidence of his rare talent. After studying at the University of Pavia, he became a doctor of law in 1789. He worked in his native town, Novara, for some years as a lawyer. From 1791 he was appointed with different charges in the Piedmontese administration of the Kingdom of Sardinia. In the first years of the French invasion of Piedmont, Prina refused any collaboration with the French, but after the battle of Marengo, he returned to public life. Napoleon Bonaparte appointed Prina Minister of Finance first in 1802 for the Italian Republic and then in 1805 for the new Kingdom of Italy. Genial in private life, he was harsh and unyielding in his official capacity. His singular skill in devising fresh taxes to meet the enormous demands of Napoleon's government made him the most-hated man in Lombardy. This was further intensified because he was a Piedmontese and he was regarded as a foreigner. 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「Giuseppe Prina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
