 H-Net Review: Alexander De Grand on Gaetano Salvemini: A Biography
The son of a southern lower-middle-class family on the slippery slope of downward mobility, Salvemini was drawn to the economic and social problems of his region.
Salvemini's preoccupation with the problem of southern under-development, along with the failure of the Italian liberal state to remedy the situation, was both a strength and a weakness.
In contrast, Salvemini was seduced by the Italian entry into World War I as a way to break the hold of the old liberal class over political life and to democratize politics.

During the late 1920s and into the 1930s, as Fascism was on the ascendancy in Italy and elsewhere, an anti-Fascist movement began to emerge in the United States that included a number of intellectuals who had left Italy to carry on their mission.
One of the most honored of these figures was Gaetano Salvemini (1873-1957) who was born in Molfetta, Italy, received a Catholic education then went to the University of Florence.
As committed as he was to anti-Fascism, Salvemini was not oblivious to the hardships of ordinary Italian immigrants; he argued that most of them were too preoccupied earning a living to take any interest in political matters.
