The Galician writer Vicente Martínez Risco y Agüero, better known as Vincent Risco was born in the city of Ourense in 1884 and from a young age he made a great friendship with another famous writer like Otero Pedrayo, of whom he was also a neighbor.
His university studies were carried out in Santiago de Compostela, in whose university he obtained a law degree. Later he worked in Ourense as a civil servant and resumed his studies, but this time in Madrid to learn teaching. Back in Ourense he was a History teacher.
Member of the Brotherhoods of FalaYears later, he founded the magazine Nós and published the Teoría do nacionalismo galego. He also traveled through central Europe to study the ethnographic and cultural characteristics of some of its peoples, something that he published first as a serial in his own magazine and later collected in a work called "Mitteleuropa."
Vicente Risco, who did not always have a "galician" mentality, did manage to found together with his friend and colleague Otero Pedrayo the Republican Nationalist Party that he ended up leaving when he approached more leftist candidates to found a new party called Dereita Galeguista.
Risco, who did a lot for Galician culture despite the fact that his convictions regarding the issue of nationalism were always changing, finally died in the year 1963.
