Life

Fernando Schiavetti graduated from the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Pisa in 1916 and then headed the daily newspaper of the Republican Party of Italy , La Voce Repubblicana , until it had to cease publication in 1926 due to the ban on all anti-fascist newspapers. To avoid persecution by the fascist regime , he settled with his wife Giulia Bondanini and their two daughters Annarella (1921–2014) and Franca (1925–1996) first in France ( Marseille ), then in Switzerland . He lived in Zurich from 1931 to 1945, where in 1931 he was able to take over the management of the "Scuola libera italiana" ( Free Italian School ), which was newly founded in 1930 , in order to have a regular income and thus support his family. At the same time he gave training courses in working-class culture to Italian emigrants and worked for the Libera Stampa newspaper . In 1943 he was one of the founders of the Federazione delle colonie libere italiane in Switzerland.

In 1945 he returned to Italy and was elected to parliament the following year as a candidate for the Action Party. He later joined the Socialist Party of Italy (PSI), which was involved in several governments from 1963. When the radical wing of the PSI split off as the PSIUP (Socialist Party of Proletarian Unity, Italian "Partito Socialista Italiano di Unità Proletaria") in the following year, he joined the new party; this went on in 1974 in the Communist Party of Italy (PCI). As a senator, he ended his political career.
