BILLIA, LORENZO MICHELANGELO. - Philosopher, b. at Cuneo on 1 Dec. 1860, d. at Florence on 10 Apr. 1924. Having joined Morando in defending the condemned Rosminian propositions, in L'esilio di s. Agostino (Turin 1899) he worked to keep alive, availing himself of uncommon erudition and acuteness, through Rosmini, the idealistic-Christian tradition, exiled, according to him, by the Neo-Thomism of Louvain.

He founded Nuovo Risorgimento in 1890 and directed it until 1901. Other works: Intorno ad un fatto contemporaneo (Padua 1899); Le quaranta proposizioni attribuite a Antonio Rosmini (Milan 1889); Antonio Rosmini nei suoi frammenti di filosofia del diritto (Rovereto 1890); Max Müller e la scienza del pensiero (Milan 1890; etc.)
