Cattaneo was an Italian philosopher and patriot. He devoted himself to the study of philosphy as a young man. Hoping to regenerate the Italian people's interest in science, he expounded his ideas in a review founded by him at Milan in 1837, called II Polotecnico. He was an uncompromising republican and federalist and had taken part in the Carbonarist movement in Lombardy in his youth.
When the revolution of 1848 broke out, he became one of and joined the leaders against the Austrians, known as the Five Days of Milan (1822 to 1848) and formed a council of war, which directed the operations of the insurgents.
Cattaneo had to flee and take refuge in Lugano, due to the return of the Austrians. In Lugano, he gave lessons, wrote his Storia della Rivoluzione del 1848, the Archivo triennale delle cose d Italia (3 vol., 1850-1855), and started the Politencico once more early in 1860. Unable to take the oath of allegiance to the monarchy, he refused to take part in the government.
