Domenico Migliazza (1876–1959) was a Latinist and a historian from Pieve Porto Morone (Pavia), who studied with Giacinto Romano (1854–1920) in Milan. He taught at the Regio Liceo “C. Beccaria” in the same city. Migliazza had already published Latin poetry before the ventennio fascista (IJsewijn 1961: 175; Sacré 1990: 335). During the ventennio, he participated in several Latin competitions, including the Certamen Ruspantini (Funaioli, Mercati, and Sapegno 1942: 40), the Certamen Locrense, and the Certamen Hoeufftianum (van Binnebeke 2020: 269, 277, 285, 290, 299, 307, 312, 320). In 1931, his poem Dux was awarded prizes at both the Locrense and the Hoeufftianum (Fedeli 2020: 67). His wife, Cristina Migliazza Tosato (b. 1885), and daughter, Eluccia Migliazza (d. 1940), were also teachers (at the Regio Liceo-Ginnasio “G. Berchet” in Milan and the Regio Ginnasio of Assisi respectively). Tosato also published Latin poetry of her own (IJsewijn 1961: 184).
