Other Notes: The colophon of I.26, p.206, explicitly identifies him as gerente responsabile. This publishing responsibility and council advocacy do not establish election as a factory delegate. Later an antifascist prisoner and president of the Constituent Assembly. Issue I.28 names him in the proposed propaganda-school program for the French Revolution, factory councils and cooperation. This announcement does not by itself establish that the lessons took place.
