Fausto Atti (1900 - 1945). Militant and founding member of the Left Fraction of the Communist Party of Italy, Atti's internationalist agitating landed him in German prisons, expelled from France, and imprisoned on an island in Italy. After the fall of Mussolini, Atti was released and joined the Internationalist Communist Party. His activities in encouraging partisans to take up autonomous class struggle instead of national "liberation" led to his assassination by Palmiro Togliatti, where a gang killed Atti in his sleep.
