| a lawyer was paid to politics, indeed the economy, Vincenzo d 'Errico. Him, his friend even more prestigious, Vincenzo Gioberti, said it was "a man cautious, wise and venerable. " The same Paolo Emilio Imbriani - lawyer, professor of law at the University of Pisa and later mayor of Naples (between 1870 and 1872) - d'Errico had for gratifying words: "the sweetness of the prepositions comforts of home, the family, worship, honest and industrious of freedom and independence of Italy. " He was born in Palazzo San Gervasio January 4, 1798. His father was Joseph. The mother was called Rachel Maria Conversano. At 26, after studies conducted during this formative San Chirico Raparo, earned his law degree in Naples January 13, 1824. He soon began Power forensic practice, specializing in cases on public land and in 1839 became attorney of the town of Melfi. Businessman, in the years 1820-1849 and considerable tracts of land bought several. His profession, relationships and knowledge made him earn a reputation woven respectable. But the economy was to intrigue literally, pushing the political commitment. Parallel to the legal profession sought and found the space and the necessary credit (even by force of ideas and suggestions are reasonable and balanced) in the liberal circles of the capital city of Lucania. Sale Carbonara turned in "Young Italy", then rapidly climbing the rungs of a career major policy. was the first member and then chairman of the Economic Society of Basilicata (1843-44). He became the Provincial Council in 1840, deputy to the provincial public works for three years starting from 1841, member of the General Council of Basilicata (1846), Member of Parliament for the administration of funds for Public Works. 1848 was a year of personal satisfaction: Vincent d'Errico was elected to Parliament in Naples. economic interests and the passion they drilled through a number of articles published in the Journal of Economic literature Basilicata, newspaper of the economic society. D'Errico was familiar with the situation Luke's economic population. In the text: "On deposits of doctors. Project to establish in Basilicata for the improvement of agriculture and the arts in the province, calling on the authorities to create more shelters for the needy. Was the high percentage of those who had been begging and wandered miserably, an unmistakable sign of pauperism in which the company was Luke's time. What could be a solution? Vincenzo d'Errico had no doubt and suggested the establishment of hospices and shelters that were to be managed at first by the state, municipalities and private sector (through collections gathered in churches), at a later time, progressively, faithful to the canons of economic liberalism, the public assistance had to disappear because it was deemed counterproductive and Advocate Palazzese tool will by the authorities. He also had a solution to fight poverty: the poor and less fortunate teach a trade that could emerge from conditions of extreme poverty in which. But the thoughts of Vincent d'Errico is not limited to poverty and ways to combat it. Its radius of action and thoughts turn also to the macro issues - the economy. In his speech to the Economic Society of Basilicata May 30, 1844 and in his essay "Of needs of Basilicata and devices to provide for ", stated clearly that to lift the fortunes of agriculture Luke must first spread and development of education, foster the spirit of association, but also to extend the leads of agricultural loans, distribute land to peasants, working on the road to facilitate communication. Modern ideas and proposals. Maybe too much, so much so that, as Thomas argues Pedio in his essay "The Bourbon Basilicata, remain unimplemented and fall utter indifference. His political identity and commitment were also very consistent with his ideas. The events have highlighted their posture. On 29 January 1848, Ferdinand II granted the Constitution. D'Errico did not hide his favor. He did more: February 28 launched an appeal "to Lucani" with which called for a monument to the King as a token of "gratitude for the promulgation of the Constitution." This call will cost him harsh criticism from the radical current. Pedio writes: "As a moderate trend, tried to prevent the Liberals Lucan adhere to the current radical and explained his program in an essay published in February 1848 to power up The Constitution in Lucania." Nevertheless, Vincenzo d'Errico had won with his ideas a fair credit among the population. He was elected Member of Parliament for the district of Naples Power. In the meantime, he founded the Constitutional Club Lucan, movement in which they found themselves liberals and democrats. But his diplomatic stance not preserved by the succession and the pressure of events. On 15 May 1848, the King changed his mind. He dissolved Parliament, tore up the Constitution. It is the beginning of the revolt in Naples. A Power news of serious disturbances and contradictory attitude of Ferdinand II reached quickly. At this time it does something mediator of Vincent d'Errico that has no equal. Rather than incite the citizens Potentino d'Errico tried to throw water on the fire of indiscriminate and reckless protests. The Circle was transformed into a Constitutional Committee of Basilicata. At the base there was a political agreement in principle with the sword in which he defended the Constitution and ventilated (but not with such determination) the dispatch of armed troops (which is really laughable) to defend it. a threat not so convinced, however, was enough to cool the spirits, but not without consequences. The intransigent attitude of the priest Emilio Maffei with d'Errico was part of the Committee, exacerbated the positions between moderates and liberals to the point that after calling his friend "slumbering" broke any relationship with him in July of 1848, just when the Bourbon courts used the iron fist against the subversive and most of the people involved, beyond the positions represented moderate or radical, were tried and imprisoned in Potenza. Vincent wrote to his brother Agostino (May 1850): "When the reaction became threatening and aggressive, I saw that my presence in the Kingdom would not be tolerated, and therefore I would be exposed to serious compromises my guests. Then moved to Naples. " Reached by an arrest warrant on charges of conspiracy against King Ferdinand II, fugitive, arrived first at Toulon, Marseille and then finally to Paris where furthered his studies in economics. Two years later left France at a time in Turin. From these three cities dating back a full correspondence with the family at the Palazzo San Gervasio, from which emerge all of his attachment and his nostalgia for the country and for the family, but also for further reflection on the patriotic ideals and the disease that was killing him (in Turin had contracted the obstinate cystitis). The letters, signed with the pseudonym of Zeno Vridricco, were not sent directly to the family because the Bourbon police surveillance, but in the neighboring towns, where faithful friends and acquaintances and shall be delivered to recipients. died in Turin on October 1 1855. He was 57 years. The marble monument in honor of Vincent d'Errico Palazzo San Gervasio in the Pantheon of the family says, "Vincent d'Errico / Legal Advisor / Member of Parliament Napoletano / In 1848 / sorrow of exile for stroke / long-suffering Serbian always hope of the Risorgimento 'Italy. " More than any other definition of these words seem more fair to describe the work of a patriot Lucan through the cultural and political commitment (never foolish or reckless or violent) he never set hope to one day see the unification of 'Italy.
