Biography
editSon of Domenico and Delphina, he graduated in law from the University of Pisa in 1913, where he joined the Italian Republican Party at a young age. Elected to the Pisa City Council, he served as an assessor for public education.[1] During those years, he became a Freemason, joining the Grand Orient of Italy.[2] On 6 August 1914, he was among the promoters of a demonstration held in Livorno against Italy's participation in World War I.[3]
Magrassi moved to Grosseto in 1921, where he practiced law opening a firm in his villa in Via Vinzaglio. At the end of World War II, he returned to active politics, which he had abandoned during the fascist era, joining the executive committee of the National Liberation Committee of Grosseto and being appointed president of the province, a position he held until 1947.[2] In 1946, he was elected to the Constituent Assembly on the Italian Republican Party's list.[4] In the subsequent 1948 general election, he ran for the Senate in the Grosseto constituency, receiving 16,888 votes (15.33%), but was not elected.[5]
In his later years, he was hospitalized in a clinic for health reasons and died on 24 July 1969.[1] He was buried in Pisa.[6]
