Biography
Migliorini was born in Rovigo.
He studied at Ca' Foscari university in Venice, then in the faculty of Letters of the University of Padua. After the Italian defeat in the Battle of Caporetto (1917), his family was forced to move to Rome. There, at the University La Sapienza, he met his masters, the philologists Ernesto Monaci and Cesare De Lollis , and, from 1920, collaborated to La Cultura , a journal whose founders included De Lollis himself and Giovanni Gentile.
He was chief editor of the Enciclopedia Italiana from 1930 to 1933 when he succeeded Angelo Monteverdi as professor of Romance languages and literature at the University of Fribourg, where Migliorini remained until 1938. Thenceforth he was the first professor of the History of Italian Language, a newly created position at the University of Florence, which he kept until 1967. In 1939, together with Giacomo Devoto, he founded the journal Lingua nostra ("Our Language").
From 1949 to 1963 Migliorini was president of the Accademia della Crusca and, from 1958, he was a member of the Accademia dei Lincei. He was one of the main Italian experts on Esperanto.
He is one of the authors of a standard pronouncing dictionary of Italian, the Dizionario d'ortografia e di pronunzia, or DOP.[6]
He died in Florence on 18 June 1975.
