Puppini grew up as an orphan in poverty, but thanks to financial support from the city of Bologna he was able to study engineering and received his laurea in 1908 from the University of Bologna. There he became in the school of hydraulic engineering an assistant in 1908 and a libero docente in 1912. During WW I he was an officer in the artillery corps. After the war, he returned to the University of Bologna and became in hydraulic engineering a professor extraordinarius in 1920 and a professor ordinarius in 1923. From 1927 to 1932 he was director of the school of engineering (Scuola di Applicazione). After the fascist rise to power

From 1927 to 1932 he was director of the school of engineering (Scuola di Applicazione). After the fascist rise to power he was elected as a pro-fascist mayor of Bologna, before the fascist law of 4 February 1926 replaced the elected office of mayor with a fascist-appointed office of mayor. Replacing Costanzo Ciano, he was Undersecretary at the Ministry of Agriculture from 20 June to 30 August 1943. He was then the Minister of Communications from 30 April 1934 to 23 January 1935. He was also president of Agip. During WW II he withdrew from politics and devoted himself to research. He died of a heart attack in 1949 on his way to give a lecture at the University of Bologna. He is best known his hydraulics research, which was important in construction for drainage projects. He studied groundwater flow both theoretically and in electrical models and developed the method of "fluid inclusion volume" when calculating flood discharge by means of drainage ditches. In structural hydraulic engineering he studied the effects of heat on dams and high pressure pipes. Puppini won the Prix Boileau [Prix Boileau de l'Académie des sciences (Boileau Prize of the French Academy of Sciences)] for the year 1915. He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1924 at Toronto and a Plenary Speaker of the ICM in 1928 at Bologna. (en)
  • Umberto Puppini (Bologna, 6 agosto 1884 – Bologna, 21 maggio 1946) è stato un politico italiano. Essendo prematuramente scomparso suo padre, visse fin dall'infanzia situazioni di ristrettezze economiche. Grazie all'aiuto delle istituzioni benefiche cittadine riuscì a laurearsi in ingegneria all'università degli Studi di Bologna nel 1908 cominciando anche una carriera accademica nel campo dell'idraulica, interrotta dalla partecipazione alla prima guerra mondiale col grado di tenente d'artiglieria. Nel 1923 divenne docente universitario ordinario di idraulica e dal 1927 al 1932 fu direttore della scuola d'applicazione ingegneristica. Si schierò a favore del Partito Nazionale Fascista e fu l'ultimo sindaco di Bologna, prima della sostituzione della carica con quella di podestà (Legge 4 febbraio 1926, n. 237). In seguito fu sottosegretario al Ministero delle Finanze e ministro delle Comunicazioni nel governo Mussolini (per pochi mesi dal 1934 al 1935) e presidente dell'Agip. Durante gli anni della seconda guerra mondiale abbandonò il fascismo e si dedicò esclusivamente ai suoi studi, che proseguì anche nel dopoguerra. Morì improvvisamente a causa di un infarto nel maggio del 1946 mentre si stava recando all'università per tenere una lezione. Puppini ha vinto il Prix Boileau per l'anno 1915. (it)
