GERINI, GIOVANNI BATTISTA. - Pedagogue, b. at Vessalico (Imperia), 9 Feb. 1859, d. at Turin 13 Feb. 1916. From 1884 he carried on his activity as a teacher of literary subjects in the Ginnasi of Cuneo, Rome and Turin, and as a scholar and writer in the field of pedagogy. An admirer and continuer of G. Allievo, he links up with the best traditions of the subalpine pedagogical school.

His principal work consists of Gli scrittori pedagogici italiani, nei secc. XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII e XIX (5 vols., Turin 1896-1910), which, while it makes no notable contributions from the theoretical standpoint, nor grasps the evolutionary process of the doctrines in their logical development, nevertheless investigates with accuracy the writings of authors even of secondary importance, gathering a rich body of information, ideas and observations useful and indispensable to the historian of Italian pedagogy. He also wrote: Le dottrine pedagogiche di G. Loche (ibid. 1893); Le dottrine pedagogiche di T. Campanella (ibid. 1899); V. Gioberti e le sue idee pedagogiche, in Atti della R. Accademia di scienze di Torino, 1907, pp. 611-34; Le dottrine pedagogiche di M. T. Cicerone, L. A. Seneca, M. F. Quintiliano e Plinio il Giovane, C. Claudiano, Giuliano imperatore e Plutarco, precedute da uno studio sull'educazione presso i Romani (ibid. 1914).
