About Pietro Ingrao
Pietro Ingrao was an Italian politician and journalist who participated in the Italian resistance movement. For many years, he was a senior figure in the Italian Communist Party (PCI). The tensions between Ingrao's and Amendola's vision became sharper throughout the first half of the 1960s. Magri adds that Ingrao's dissent was important "because it meant that a 'non-dogmatic, non-Stalinist' Left was present for the first time within a Communist party". Ingrao was the first Communist to become president of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, a position he held from 1976 to 1979. As a student, he was a member of GUF (Gruppo Universitario Fascista) and won a "Littoriale" for culture and art.
