Giorgio Colli (16 January 1917 – 6 January 1979) was an Italian
philosopher,
philologist and
historian. A native of
Turin, he taught
ancient philosophy at
Pisa's university for thirty years; he edited and translated
Aristotle's Organon and
Kant's Critique of Pure Reason for Einaudi, a major publishing house in Italy. Subsequently, he produced the first complete edition of
Nietzsche's work (including all the posthumous fragments chronologically ordered) together with his friend
Mazzino Montinari. His work culminated in La Sapienza greca, an edition and translation of the "
Presocratics" (a term he rejected). Interrupted by his death in January 1979, it was supposed to be in eleven volumes.
