Ferruccio Parri (Italian pronunciation: [ferˈruttʃo ˈparri]; January 19, 1890 in Pinerolo – December 8, 1981 in Rome) was an Italian partisan and politician who served as the 29th Prime Minister of Italy for several months in 1945. During the resistance he was known as Maurizio.
Parri was born in Pinerolo, Piedmont. A soldier during World War I, he was wounded four times and received four decorations. He studied literature and after the war he was a journalist with the Corriere della Sera.
He became active against Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime and joined Carlo and Nello Rosselli's group Giustizia e Libertà (Justice and Liberty), the principal Italian non-Marxist antifascist movement.
In 1926 he was involved in the escape of the reformist socialist leader Filippo Turati, together with Carlo Rosselli and Sandro Pertini. He was sentenced to 10 months in prison. He was arrested several times and banished to the islands Ustica and Lipari. In 1930 he was again banished for five years together with other leaders of Giustizia e Libertà.
During World War II, Parri joined the Italian resistance movement to fight the Nazi German occupiers and Mussolini's Italian Social Republic, leading the Action Party (Partito d'Azione) – founded in 1942 by former militants of Giustizia e Libertà – and its partisan groups in northern Italy (alongside representatives of other factions, such as Sandro Pertini, Rodolfo Morandi and Lelio Basso). He was also president of the Comitato di Liberazione Nazionale.
