Opening Journey research profile
Role: Communist organizer, editor, and party leader
PSI member, L'Ordine Nuovo co-founder, collaborator on Workers' Democracy, chair of the Turin PSI council study committee, PCd'I editor and leader, participant in the 1923 provisional executive, collaborator in the Gramsci center, and co-preparer of the Lyons Theses.
Geography
Turin through 1922; Rome in party work; Moscow for Comintern congresses; Lyon, January 1926. City precision, High or Medium-High confidence depending on the event.
Analytic caution
Collaboration with Gramsci does not establish identical positions at every date. Togliatti remained closer to Bordiga than Gramsci during parts of 1920-23.
