Hugo Luciano Trivelli Franzolini (8 May 1913 – 24 March 2005) was a Chilean agronomist and Christian Democratic politician, who served as minister of state in two portfolios during the government of President Eduardo Frei Montalva.
He played a prominent role in the Chilean agrarian reform process carried out under Frei's administration. He was also Chile's representative to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
He was the son of Roque Trivelli and Magdalena Franzolini. He spent his youth in his hometown and later in Rancagua, where he studied at the Instituto O’Higgins of the Marist Brothers, graduating in 1930. He later studied agronomy and law at the University of Chile, preparing dissertations on the agricultural and forestry sectors.[1]
He married Mercedes Oyarzún, through whom he became the brother-in-law of future President Patricio Aylwin, who married her sister Leonor Oyarzún.[2]
He was the father of Marcelo Trivelli, Intendant of the Santiago Metropolitan Region (2001–2005); of Hugo Trivelli Oyarzún, president of the State Railways Company (1997–1998); and of Gonzalo, Pablo and Daniel.
