Biography
Federici obtained a degree in Political Science at the University of Rome in 1933. In 1934 she took part in Corrado Gini's expedition to study the anthropometrics of Polish minorities such as the Karaites. She subscribed to fascism and was antisemitic, and was responsible for furnishing as a demographer detailed proposals for ‘reducing the number of Jewish individuals resident in Italy and, specifically isolating them spiritually and socially from the life of the nation,’ a measure she openly admired in Nazism.
her area of specialization was demography, over which she ranged widely with particular regard to the intersections between biological and social demography. She founded the journal Genus, which she directed from 1966 to 1994. She strongly supported the demographic studies in Italy, after the crisis followed to racial laws in the years of Second World War. During her long teaching career, she obtained (1961) the first chair of demography at an Italian University. Nora Federici's interests extended beyond the world of universities, and she played a role in making demography a topic of public interest.
