Altiero Spinelli
Altiero Spinelli
(31 August 1907 – 23 May 1986) was an
Italian
political theorist
and a
European federalist
. Spinelli is referred to as one of the
Founding fathers of the European Union
due to his co-authorship of the
Ventotene Manifesto
, his founding role in the
European federalist movement
, his strong influence on the first few decades of post-World War II
European integration
and, later, his role in re-launching the integration process in the 1980s. By the time of his death, he had been a
Member of the European Commission
for six years, a
Member of the European Parliament
for ten years right up until his death. The main building of the
European Parliament
in
Brussels
is named after him. The 1987–1988 academic year at the
College of Europe
and the 2009-2010 academic year of the
European College of Parma
were named in his honour.
