Beccaria war der Sohn eines Mailänder Aristokraten von bescheidenem Wohlstand. Im Jahre 1760 traf sein Vorhaben, die 16-jährige Teresa Blasco zu heiraten, auf den entschiedenen Widerstand seines Vaters. From an early age, he displayed the essential traits of his character. A highly volatile temperament resulted in periods of enthusiasm followed by depression and inactivity. He was reserved and somewhat taciturn in his social contacts but placed great value on his personal and family relationships. At the age of eight he was sent to the Jesuit school in Parma. Beccaria later described the education he received there as “fanatical” and stifling to “the development of human feelings.” Although he revealed a mathematical aptitude, little in his student days gave indication of the remarkable intellectual achievements that were soon to follow. In 1758 he received a degree in law from the University of Pavia.
Beccaria war der Sohn eines Mailänder Aristokraten von bescheidenem Wohlstand. Mit acht Jahren wurde er auf die Jesuitenschule in Parma geschickt - deren Stil er später als "fanatisch" beschrieb. Er galt als Mensch von unstetem Temperament, bei dem Phasen des Enthusiasmus sich mit solchen der Depression und Untätigkeit abwechselten. In seiner Beziehung zu anderen Menschen galt er als schweigsam und etwas zurückhaltend, aber er legte großen Wert auf seine Freunde und Familie. Nachdem er 1758 sein Jurastudium in Pavia beendet hatte, traf 1760 sein Vorhaben, die 16-jährige Teresa Blasco zu heiraten, auf den entschiedenen Widerstand seines Vaters. 1761 erfolgte die Heirat ohne väterlichen Segen und das junge Paar begann sein Leben unter schwierigen Verhältnissen. Nach der Versöhnung lebte das junge Paar dann im väterlichen Haus und bekam 1762 eine Tochter. In Mailand geriet Beccaria schnell in die lebhaften Diskussionen um die Aufklärung. Er schloss sich dem Grafen Pietro Verri an und half bei der Organsation einer literarischen Gesellschaft


In 1760 Beccaria’s proposed marriage to the 16-year-old Teresa Blasco encountered the obdurate opposition of his father. The following year the marriage took place without parental consent, and the young couple began their life together in poverty. The breach between father and son was ultimately repaired, and Beccaria and his wife were received into the family home. In 1762 a daughter, the first of his three children, was born.

Upon completion of his formal training Beccaria returned to Milan and was soon caught up in the intellectual ferment associated with the 18th-century Enlightenment. He joined with Count Pietro Verri in the organization of a literary society and participated actively in its affairs. In 1762 his first writing appeared, a pamphlet on monetary reform. Later he associated himself with the periodical Il Caffè, a journal modeled on the English periodical The Spectator, and contributed several anonymous essays to its pages.
