Bio: Oberdorfer combined teaching and translation with popular education and socialist journalism in Trieste. After the war he directed the Consiglio superiore di cultura dei lavoratori and participated in the socialist milieu associated with Valentino Pittoni. His contributions to Il Lavoratore and Salvemini’s L’Unità addressed political and cultural questions, and his 1922 book documented the postwar history of Trieste socialism. The Leonardo essay in L’Ordine Nuovo reflects his commitment to making intellectual and artistic history available to a wider public. Fascist persecution disrupted his employment during the 1920s.
