Romolo Murri

Romolo Murri (Monte San Pietrangeli, 27 August 1870 – Roma, 12 March 1944) was an Italian politician and ecclesiastic. This Catholic priest was suspended for having joined the party Lega Democratica Nazionale and is widely considered in Italy as the precursor of Christian democracy.

In 1894 was a promoter of the FUCI, in 1901 of Democrazia Cristiana Italiana and in 1905 of Lega Democratica Nazionale. He founded the publications "Vita nova" (1895),[1] "Cultura sociale" (1898),[2] "Il domani d'Italia" (1901), "Rivista di cultura" (1906), "Il commento" (1910).
