Paul Anthony Ginsborg (18 July 1945 – 11 May 2022) was a British-born Italian historian.
[1] Ginsborg was educated at St Paul's School, London, and Queens' College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a BA degree in History in 1966.
[3] With Pancho Pardi, he opposed Silvio Berlusconi's justice reforms, and campaigned alongside the girotondi movement.
Along with Carlo Ginzburg, Marcello Flores, Sergio Luzzatto, Claudio Pavone, Enzo Traverso, et al., he signed a call in January 2002 against a law project, presented by Justice Minister Clemente Mastella, to specifically penalize Holocaust denial.
The amended law project finally restricted itself to reinforcing sentences concerning hate speech.
