Silvio Amindè (April 7, 1762 – November 22, 1816) was a Gapolanese theologist, writer and politician, who led the Republican Movement of Gapolania from 1806 to 1808, signed the declaration of independence of Gapolania in 1808 and ultimately served as the First Citizen of the Republic of Gapolania. Popularly associated with the Pantheonisti movement in the country, he advocated for the unification of the former Etrurian colonies in Asteria Inferior and creation of the religious state known as Heavenly Asteria (Asteria Celeste).

Biography

Amindè was born in Astia (then in the Governorate of Semara under the Viceroyalty of New Povelia), the son of Vettorio Amindè, a trader and an aspiring politician. He was sent to Zeta at the age of 13 to attend the church school there and prepare for taking over the family business. Inspired by religious scriptures, he further pursued religious career and went on to study in the seminary in Zeta, much to his father's disapproval. During his time in the seminary, Amindè learnt about the Pantheonisti ideology and decided to move to Nassea, where he joined the Univeristy of Nassea to study philosophy and political sciences. It was there that he met like-minded individuals, Castro Albione and Seneca di Follerzo, who would later found the Republican Movement.
