Eugenio Manni

Eugenio Manni (1910 in Modena – 14 September 1989, in Fiumalbo) was an Italian ancient historian.

Having graduated from the University of Turin, he specialised at the end of the 1940s in ancient history, particularly ancient Greece, Rome and the history of Sicily in the period before the Greeks.

Initially, he was employed by a liceo (high school), but then, from 1950 until his retirement, he was a lecturer in ancient history at the University of Palermo. In Palermo, he founded the journal, ''ΚΩΚΑΛΟΣ. Studi pubblicati dall'Istituto di storia antica dell'Università di Palermo'' in 1955, the "Biago Pace" Sicilian Centre of Archaeological-Historical Studies in 1957, and the Sicilian Institute for Ancient History in 1968.

He was the author of numerous publications, the most important of which were ''Per la storia dei municipii fino alla guerra sociale'' (The History of the ''municipii'' until the Social War) in 1947 and ''Geografia fisica e politica della Sicilia antica'' (Physical and Political Geography of Ancient Sicily) in 1981.
