Epicarmo Corbino (18 July 1890 – 25 April 1984)[1] was an Italian academic and economist who served briefly as the minister of industry and the minister of treasury in the 1940s. He was among the most influential Italian economists.[2]
Corbino was born in Augusta, Sicily, in 1890.[3] He was the brother of Orso Mario Corbino, a politician served in the cabinets of Mussolini.[4]
Epicarmo Corbino was promoted to professorship at the University of Naples in 1923.[3] He was the minister of industry and commerce in the government of Salerno between 11 February and 17 April 1944.[3] He served as minister of the treasury in the first and second cabinets of Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi from December 1945 to September 1946 when he resigned from the office.[3][5] Corbino was member of the National Council and then, of the Constituent Assembly until 1953 for the Liberal party.[3]
Carbino left the Liberal Party before the general elections in 1953 and co-founded and headed the National Democratic Alliance in the elections.[6] He collaborated with former Prime Minister Ferruccio Parri in the establishment of the party.[7] However, the party did not manage to win a seat at the parliament.[6]
Between 1959 and 1965 Corbino was the president of the Banco di Napoli.[3] He died in Naples in 1984.[3]
