Leone Ginzburg (Italian: [leˈoːne ˈɡintsburɡ]; German: [ˈɡɪntsbʊɐ̯k]; Ukrainian: [ˈɡʲinzbʊrɡ]; 4 April 1909 – 5 February 1944) was an Italian editor, writer, journalist and teacher, as well as an important anti-fascist political activist and a hero of the resistance movement. He was the husband of the renowned author Natalia Ginzburg and the father of the historian Carlo Ginzburg.
Ginzburg was born in Odessa to a Jewish family, and moved with them, first to Berlin and later to Turin at a very young age. He studied at the Massimo d’Azeglio liceo in Turin . This school molded a group of intellectuals and political activists who would fight Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime and, eventually, help create the post-war democratic Italy. His classmates included such notable intellectuals as Norberto Bobbio, Piero Gobetti, Cesare Pavese, Giulio Einaudi, Massimo Mila, Vittorio Foa, Giancarlo Pajetta and Felice Balbo.
