| biography:
| Italian politician, born in Oneglia, Liguria, NW Italy. A socialist, he replaced Mussolini as editor of Avanti, after he was expelled from the party in 1914. He was strongly opposed to intervention in World War 1and was one of the organizers of the Zimmerwald (1915) and Kienthal (1916) conferences. Although he belonged to the left wing of the party, he supported party unity and did not join the breakaway communists in 1921. He split with the reformists only in 1924 when, with his followers, he joined Antonio Gramsci's faction in the Communist Party. |
