Aldo Garosci

Aldo Garosci (October 13, 1907 – January 3, 2000) was an Italian historian, socialist, and an anti-fascist politician.

Early life

At an early age, Garosci was trained in Turin in anti-fascist circles in the time Turin was the bedrock of anti-fascist thoughts and ideas due to the presence of personalities such as Antonio Gramsci and Piero Gobetti. After graduating his study in Law in 1929, he began his political career.

Departure from Paris

Being one of the organizers of the clandestine anti-fascist movement Giustizia e Libertà , he risked arrest in December 1931, when Andreis and others of the same group were arrested; but still having his passport, he managed to leave Paris on January 12, 1932. Once he was gone from Paris, with his friends Franco Venturi and Carlo Levi, he collaborated in the editing of the weekly "Giustizia e Libertà" newspaper along with Carlo Rosselli, which shared the same name and asserted itself as the mouthpiece of the movement.[1]

Later life

On May 19, 1964 he became a member of the Turin Academy of Sciences,[2] and between 1968 and 1970 he directed the newspaper L'Umanità. At the end of the 1960s, he returned to politics as the first leader of the Unified Socialist Party.
