Biography

edit

With a background in republicanism, Bellucci moved to France in 1931. In 1932, he returned to Italy, to Grosseto, where he was arrested for anti-fascist activities. In 1934, as a free citizen, he went back to France, residing in Nice, where he established connections with communist activists in exile. Monitored by the OVRA (fascist secret police) in the following years, he was arrested in Menton in 1943 and released in August of the same year.

He participated in the resistance movement under the name "Franco Nello," and at the end of the conflict, he was appointed secretary of the Communist Federation of Grosseto.[1]

He was elected as a deputy for the Italian Communist Party (PCI) in the first legislature of the Republic. It was not re-elected in the second legislature.
