Abstract

Tancred Canonico was a professor of criminal law at the University of Turin during the second half of the eighteenth century. He had the chance to travel across Europe and to get in touch with many important jurists like Karl J. Mittermaier. During his journey, he met the polish Andrea Towianski whose religious beliefs determined a wide-ranging change in the attitude of Tancredi Canonico towards his personal life and his academic career. This contribution aims to analyze the development of his thought in the field of criminal law during his long academic career.
