Early life and education[edit]
Carlos Esteban Ignacio María del Corazón de Jesús Sodi Candiani was born in 1838, in Oaxaca City, Oaxaca. He was the son of Italian engineer and lieutenant coronel Carlos Sodi Bartoloni, who immigrated from Florence in the 19th century, and María del Carmen Camila Nepomucena Candiani Gutierrez Griz.[1]
Sodi enrolled at the Institute of Sciences and Arts of Oaxaca between the decades of 1850 and 1860. In 1867, his participation as synodal in the Grammar exams was recorded, indicating that he was possibly a professor at the institute.[1]

During the Porfiriato, Sodi and his family owned vast tracts of land in the state of Oaxaca. He and his brother, Demetrio, were the owners of Hacienda Concepción and Hacienda Candiani and its annex, La Compañía,[1] both located in the outskirts of Oaxaca City.[2][3] The latter was dedicated to the production of sugar cane and had a land surface of 328-50-23 hectares.[3]
Sodi served as a Senator of the Congress of the Union for the state of Oaxaca from the year 1882 to 1884, in the XI Legislature of the Mexican Congress.[1] He also served as senator for the state of Michoacán for approximately 25 years.
Personal life and death[edit]
Sodi married twice during his lifetime, his first marriage was to Dolores Guergué Antuñana y del Solar Campero, and his second to Refugio Romero Guendulain.[1] He had a total of 22 children, including President of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (1908–1910) and Secretary of Justice (March–May 1911) Demetrio Sodi Guergué,[4] and public defender, novelist and playwright Federico Sodi Romero.[5]
