| biography:
| Italian politician, born in Rome, Latium, Italy. Strongly opposed to Fascism, he became a member of the Unitary Socialist Party in 1925, and with his brother Nello and others published the periodical Non Mollare (Don't Give Up). He was involved in the weekly Quarto Stato (Fourth Estate) with Pietro Nenni but was arrested for helping Filippo Turati leave the country. Exiled to the island of Lipari, in Socialismo liberale (1930) he formulated his political thought in which Marxism is seen from a liberal perspective. He escaped to Paris in 1929 and co-founded Giustizia e Libertà (Justice and Freedom) and was editor of the homonymous weekly. He fought in Spain with the International brigades and was wounded. In 1937 he was killed in France with his brother Nello in a Fascist-organized attack. |
