About this person
Ernesto Teodoro Moneta took up arms at fifteen during Milan's 1848 uprising against the Austrians, trained at military academy in Ivrea, and joined Garibaldi's Expedition of the Thousand in 1859 before fighting the Austrians again in 1866. The former soldier turned journalist, editing Milan's Il Secolo from 1867 to 1896, and in 1890 founded the Lombard Association for Peace and Arbitration - calling for disarmament and imagining a League of Nations and Permanent Court of Arbitration long before either existed. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1907, sharing it with Louis Renault. His personal motto, "In varietate unitas," would later echo as the European Union's own.
