Autorenporträt
Cesare Beccaria è stato un giurista e filosofo italiano del Settecento, noto per il suo contributo alla riforma del sistema penale. Nato a Milano nel 1738 e morto nel 1794, ha studiato giurisprudenza all'Università di Pavia e ha iniziato la sua carriera come avvocato, ma ha presto abbandonato questa professione per dedicarsi alla scrittura e alla filosofia. Ha fatto parte di un gruppo di intellettuali illuminati a Milano (Accademia dei Pugni) e ha lavorato per promuovere idee di progresso e di uguaglianza sociale. Il suo lavoro più importante è stato il saggio "Dei delitti e delle pene", pubblicato nel 1764, in cui criticava la crudeltà e la disumanità della pena di morte e della tortura, e proponeva un sistema di punizione basato sulla rieducazione e sulla prevenzione del crimine. Il suo lavoro ha contribuito a far cambiare l'opinione pubblica su questi temi e ha influenzato le riforme giuridiche in tutta Europa e in America.
