Bio
Mosso resumed his engineering studies in 1919 and wrote as Carlo Petri for socialist and anarchist publications. In 1920 he joined the factory-council study committee and received Gramsci’s recognition as a libertarian communist collaborator. His work examined productive organization and Taylorism. He later spent time in Switzerland and published on logic in 1924.

Other Notes
The engineering degree came later, not in 1919. During the Second World War he held local administrative offices and assisted partisans and prisoner exchanges; he received posthumous recognition as a partisan combatant. Issue I.8, Lo Stato e il Socialismo, explicitly calls Carlo Petri a libertarian communist within the editorial group. This establishes contemporary editorial affiliation, not council-delegate status.
