==Early years==
De Gasperi was born in [[Pieve Tesino]] in [[County of Tyrol|Tyrol]], which at that time belonged to [[Austria-Hungary]], now part of the [[Trentino]] in Italy. His father was a local police officer of limited financial means. From 1896 De Gasperi was active in the Social Christian movement. In 1900 he joined the Faculty of Literature and Philosophy in [[Vienna]], where he played an important role in the inception of the Christian student movement. He was very much inspired by the 
''[[Rerum Nnovarum]]'' [[encyclical]] issued by [[Pope Leo XIII]] in 1891. In 1904 he took an active part in the student demonstrations in favour of an Italian-language university. Imprisoned with other protesters during the inauguration of the Italian juridical faculty in [[Innsbruck]], he was released after twenty days. In 1905, De Gasperi obtained a degree in [[philology]].
