Mauro Del Giudice
Mauro Del Giudice was an Italian magistrate, jurist and writer.
During the period of Fascism he was a great supporter of the independence of magistrates. In 1924, together with judge Umberto Tancredi, he was charged with the investigation into the murder of Giacomo Matteotti. Convinced of the guilt of the regime, he showed great tenacity in resisting bribes and external pressures during the conduct of the trial. However, this intransigence cost him his job, probably by a direct involvement of Mussolini, through a promotion that forced him to leave his office in Rome for Catania. Later, he was forcibly retired, and moved to Vieste with his brother Luigi.
In the Florestano Vancini's film The Assassination of Matteotti, Del Giudice is played by Vittorio De Sica.
