MONTI, Luigi, author, born in Palermo, Sicily, in 1830. He was educated in his native place, served in the revolutionary army in 1848-'9, and, being exiled in 1850, came to Boston, where he became a teacher of Italian. He was instructor in Harvard in 1854-'9, and from 1861 till 1873 was United States consul at Palermo, after which he devoted himself to teaching and literature at Boston. He has lectured before the Lowell institute on "Contemporary Representative Men of Italy," and has also given courses of lectures at Wellesley, Vassar, and Peabody institute, Baltimore.
