Federico Chabod (Italian: [fedeˈriːko ʃʃaˈbo]; February 23, 1901 – July 14, 1960), also referred to as Frédéric Chabod (French: [fʁedeʁik ʃabo]), was an Italian historian and politician.

Biography

Born in Aosta from notary Laurent Chabod, from Valsavarenche, and Giuseppina Baratono, from Ivrea, he studied at the University of Turin under Pietro Egidi and Gaetano Salvemini, writing his thesis on Machiavelli. His thesis was published with the title of Introduzione al Principe in 1924. After graduating from the University of Turin, he continued his studies, this time at the University of Berlin under Friedrich Meinecke. He began his academic career at the University of Perugia and the University of Milan. In 1946, he was hired by the University of Rome to head the Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Storici founded by Benedetto Croce. He is best known for expanding Italian historiography from its traditional insularity by linking it in a broader, European context.

Chabod died at Rome in 1960.
