L'Italia Libera

      Cover of the partisan newspaper labeled "the organ of the Action Party," urging the liberation of Italy ahead of the Allied forces, which had reached Rome three days before.

      L'Italia Libera (or Free Italy) was the newspaper of the Italian anti-fascist organization and political party Partito d'Azione (abbrev: Pd'A) (Action Party), which was founded in July 1942. The paper was published on a press in the basement of premises at Via Basento 55, in Rome, until it was raided in November 1943.[1]Leone Ginzburg was editor until his arrest (and subsequent murder) in 1943.
