CROTTI di COSTIGLIOLE, EDOARDO. - Politician, b. 20 Oct. 1799 at Costigliole, d. at Aosta on 25 September 1870. Having devoted himself to a military career and distinguished himself in suppressing the Piedmontese uprisings of 1821, he was later secretary of embassy in Paris (1837), where he effectively opposed the first French designs on Nice and Savoy, and then ambassador in Switzerland (1848).
He energetically opposed the approval of the law that sought to make the future ministers of worship soldiers (1868), and on 20 Aug. 1870 he abstained from voting on the Pisanelli order of the day expressing confidence in the government's political course in order to «resolve the Roman question according to the national aspirations». Almost on the eve of his death, on 4 Sept. of the same year, in the face of plots aimed at provoking bloody riots in Rome, he addressed to President Lanza a noble letter of protest.
