Early life and career
Born in
Faenza, Nenni was a
pacifist journalist affiliated with the
Italian Republican Party before
World War I, but joined the Socialist Party in
1921, at the moment of its split with the wing that would form the
Communist Party (PCI). In 1923 (after the
Fascist March on Rome, he became the editor of PSI's official voice,
Avanti!, and engaged in
anti-Fascist activism before taking refuge to
France. Nenni went on to fight with the
International Brigades in the
Spanish Civil War, returning to Italy during
World War II in order to fight in the
resistance movement.
A daughter, Viva, died in
Auschwitz. She is memorialized in the writings of
Charlotte Delbo.
Post-war politics
In
1944, he became the national secretary of the PSI, favoring close ties between his party and the PCI. This policy caused the
Giuseppe Saragat-led anti-Communist wing of the PSI to leave and form the
Italian Socialist Workers' Party in
1947 (later merged into the
Italian Democratic Socialist Party, PSDI). Nenni himself split with the PCI after
Soviet Union's
invasion of Hungary (in
1956). He formed a

Aldo Moro and
Ugo La Malfa, and favored a reunion with the PSDI.
