La Porta, Lelio
Epistolario, Vol. 2, maggio 1922-novembre 1923, a cura di Davide Bidussa, Francesco Giasi e Maria Luisa Righi
Gramsci's correspondence January-November 1923 includes both political letters (to and from him, a number
published here for the first time) and also personal ones, some redated and, in consequence, having as
recipient not the Schucht sister ( Julija) to whom they were until recently thought to be addressed. The
background information supplied to the political letters, and inclusion in the volume of the letters received by
Gramsci, helps to flesh out the general context of what was happening in both the Comintern and in the
Italian Communist Party. In the aftermath of the Fourth Congress of the International (November-December
1922) a clarification of positions began in the PCI, with what would become the centre group around
Gramsci distancing itself both from Bordiga's left and from Tasca's right (later incorporated into the centre).
Further, under pressure from the International, moves - not accepted by everyone - began towards a stable
alliance between the infant Communist Party and the pro-Comintern left of the Socialist Party (the Third
Internationalist fraction); after the last relatively free elections, the majority of this fraction then merged with
the PCI into what became a united Communist Party.
