Early Years
Beppo Levi was born on May 14, 1875 in Turin, Italy. He studied at the University of Turin, and obtained his Ph.D. in mathematics at age 21. Three months later, Levi was appointed Assistant Professor, also at the University Of Turin, where he shortly thereafter became a full time Scholar. Levi was appointed Professor at the University of Piacenza in 1901, at the University of Cagliari in 1906, at the University of Parma in 1910, and finally at the University of Bologna in 1928. The following years bore the signature of Benito Mussolini's power and rising antisemitism in Italy. As a Jew, Levi was soon expelled from his position at the University of Bologna. He emigrated to Argentina, as did many other European Jews at the time.

Famous quotes related to early years:
“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
