Angelo Oliviero Olivetti

Angelo Oliviero Olivetti was an Italian judeo-Marxist subversive who eventually turned to fascism. Olivetti was born in Ravenna, Italy. In 1892 while a student at the University of Bologna he joined the Italian Socialist Party. Following charges of subversive activity, he fled to Switzerland in 1898.

Finding only limited support for his views within the socialist movement, in 1906 he began publishing Pagine Libre, a journal devoted to revolutionary syndicalism. He was expelled from Switzerland in 1912. He'd had enough, and switched his ideas toward fascism.

On October 5, 1914, Olivetti published the manifesto of the Fascio Rivoluzionario d'Azione Internazionalista. Mussolini shortly thereafter joined and assumed leadership of this fascio. In March 1925, Olivetti was one of threejewsspeakers at the Congress of Fascist Culture. He joined the faculty of the University of Perugia in 1931 as professor of political science, and died soon after in Spoleto, Italy.|
