Augusto Milani (1862–after 1936), who graduated from Sapienza University of Rome, was a layer and a jurist, specializing in Roman law. He was professor at the Academy of Historical-Juridical Conferences (Accademia di Conferenze Storico-Giuridiche ) since the academic year 1897–1898 and taught on the Pandectae; he also contributed to the writing of the Code of Canon Law in 1917. Milani authored the monumental inscription – celebrating the Italian victory in World War I – that covers the pressure regulator of the fifth siphon of the “Acqua Pia Antica Marcia” aqueduct near Porta Maggiore in 1923 and the inscriptions of Villa Brasini Augusta, in Via Flaminia, for the architect Armando Brasini, between 1931 and 1936 (last evidence of his life); he worked with Brasini also to the inscription for the Central Museum of the Risorgimento in the Vittoriano (1933). See Fantappiè (2008: 1237) for an overview of Milani’s main writings.
