Benedetto Croce was born 25 February 1866 and built a career as an idealist philosopher who refused to stay in one lane, writing across philosophy, historiography, and aesthetics with equal command. He entered the Senate of the Kingdom of Italy in 1910 and kept his seat through fascism and war, a political liberal who'd formulated his liberalism-versus-liberism framework years earlier. After the fall of Mussolini he led the Italian Liberal Party from 1944 to 1947, then joined the Constituent Assembly and won election to the new republican Senate in 1948. From 1949 until his death on 20 November 1952 he presided over PEN International, the worldwide writers' association, and was nominated for the Nobel in Literature sixteen times without winning.
