He was a long-time member of the secular, centre-left Italian Republican Party.
An ardent anti-fascist, he lived in exile for many years and was an officer of the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. He was later active in the political life of post-war Italy. His support for various plans to install a presidential republic in Italy during the Cold War has been a source of controversy.
