Bruno Segre (4 September 1918 – 27 January 2024) was an Italian lawyer, journalist, politician, and partisan. Segre was born in Turin on 4 September 1918. He was a student of Luigi Einaudi, graduating in law with a thesis dedicated to Benjamin Constant, founder of liberalism. Due to laws at the time, his Jewish ancestry prevented him from practicing law. On 21 December 1942, he was arrested for political defeatism and spent over three months in prison, while his father was interned in Abruzzo. In 1943, he and his family moved to a small village in the Cuneo area between Busca, Caraglio and Dronero. In September 1944 in Turin, Segre attempted to escape arrest by the National Republican Guard. A shootout ensued, from which he saved himself thanks to the metal cigarette case he carried in his jacket, which blocked the bullet. However, he was captured and sent to the barracks in Via Asti and then transferred to the Le Nuove judicial prison, from which he escaped some time later by bribing a U.P.I. official. In the summer of 1946, he wrote a memoir dedicated to the events of his prison experience, which he published in 2013.
