"Carlo Giovanni Maria Denina (1731, Revello – 5 December 1813, Paris) was an Italian historian whose unique contribution was to write a history of Italy from a “national” perspective, which significantly differed from other historians who mainly wrote from a “city state” or “localized” perspective during that time.
He was born at Revello, Piedmont, in 1731, and was educated at Saluzzo and Turin. In 1753 he was appointed to the chair of humanity at Pinerolo, but he was soon compelled by the influence of the Jesuits to retire from it. In 1756 he graduated as doctor in theology, and began authorship with a theological treatise." - (en.wikipedia.org 13.03.2024)
