BARILLI, GIUSEPPE. - Polymath, soldier, teacher, b. at Budrio on 20 Apr. 1812, d. at Bologna on 18 Dec. 1894. In 1848, professor of hydraulics and mechanics at the University of Bologna, he fought in that same year and in 1849 at Rome, where he was secretary of the assembly of the Roman Constituent Assembly and drafted the decree proclaiming the Republic. An exile in London, he returned in 1859 to teaching and fought in 1866 and 1867.

Under the pseudonym Quirico Filopanti he wrote works of scientific, philosophical and historical popularization, inspired by Mazzinian pantheism and the most banal anticlericalism, with the disjointed erudition of his restless spirit. Among them, Dio liberale, Dio esiste, Bibbia sociale; the Universo, lezioni popolari di filosofia enciclopedica (the latter, also published under the pseudonym Quirico Filopanti, is on the Index, decr. 12 March 1875).
