| biography:
| Intellectual and politician, born in Turin, Piedmont, NW Italy. He contributed to Antonio Gramsci's review Ordine Nuovo (New Order), and in 1922 founded Rivoluzione Liberale (Liberal Revolution), the mouthpiece of his philosophy that combined liberalism and socialism, and Il Baretti in 1924. After the advent of Fascism, which he opposed from the start, he advocated a united front of all democratic forces. He was forced to leave for France in 1926 to escape Fascist harassment, but died soon after as a consequence of the beatings received in Italy. |
