Luciano Gallino (15 May 1927 – 8 November 2015) was an Italian sociologist.
Born in Turin, between 1956 and 1971 he worked in the Research Department of Social Relations of Olivetti.[1][2] He was instrumental in introducing Sociology into Italian universities, at a time when both spiritualist and Communist scholars regarded the discipline as largely irrelevant.[3]
From 1971 to 2002 he taught sociology at the University of Turin.[1] He was also President of the Italian Council of Social Sciences from 1979 to 1988, and President of the Italian Association of Sociology from 1987 to 1992.[1]
Gallino was the author of several books and a columnist for various publications, and he directed the magazine Quaderni di Sociologia.[1][2] His studies mainly focused on the sociology of economic processes in the labour market.[1] He cooperated with Romano Prodi when the latter served as Prime Minister of Italy.[3]
