Giordano Bianchi Dottula

Giordano Bianchi Dottula (31 January 1775, Montrone - 19 February 1846, Naples[1]) was an Italian writer and politician.

Passionate about classical studies, he was a member of the purist school, a teacher of Basilio Puoti and a friend of Vincenzo Monti, Ugo Foscolo, Pietro Giordani and other noted writers of the time.

When Murat became king of Naples in 1808 he made Bianchi his court chamberlain and president of the council of the Province of Bari.

Following the restoration of the Bourbons to Naples in 1815, he endured a period of exile in France and Switzerland before eventually reclaiming residence in Bari..

He quickly took on major posts in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, including in 1831 Intendent of the Province of Bari and then member of the Council of State in Naples.
