Savino Varazzani (Piacenza, March 21, 1858 - Milan, February 3, 1938) was an Italian politician and journalist. He was a teacher, writer and journalist, who served as chairman of Avanti! della Domenica.[1]
He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the XXI legislature (1900-1904) for the constituency of Piacenza.[2][3] He was a candidate for the following legislature, albeit reluctantly, in the supplementary elections for the Grosseto constituency, but was not elected.[4]
In 1912, along with a number of others, he left the Socialist Party in protest against its opposition to the Italian invasion of Libya.[5] In 1928 he joined the National Fascist Party[1] and in 1930 published a book entitled Confessioni d'un galantuomo: (dà socialista a fascista) (Confessions of a Gentleman: from socialist to fascist).[6]
The city of Piacenza has a Via Savino Varazzani named after him.[7]
