CORNAGGIA-MEDICI CASTIGLIONI, CARLO OTTAVIO. - Senator, born in Milan on 6 Dec. 1851, died there on 10 Apr. 1905. A deputy for Milan in the 22nd and 23rd legislatures, he was appointed senator in 1904. Having earned a degree in law at Pavia, he immediately devoted himself to political activity by joining the Catholic movement, of which he was one of the most representative figures.

An advocate of an alliance with the right-wing liberals, he held many public offices in Milan, where he was a municipal councillor, an alderman, a provincial councillor and president of the Ospedale Maggiore. Defeated in the elections for the 24th legislature, he did not stand again. He founded the newspaper Lega lombarda, later merged with L'osservatore.
