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.

Since he kissed them and put them there.”
