Antonio Gramsci (Italy, 1891-1937) was born into a family immersed in poverty and as a young man he had many difficulties to carry out his studies, so he started working at an early age. Finally, he was able to study elementary and secondary school and collaborate in the newspaper Unión Sarda with short articles. That's how he got his journalist's card. Subsequently, he obtained a scholarship to study Philosophy and Letters at the University of Turin. Gramsci, outstanding philosopher and Marxist theorist, wrote about political theory, sociology, anthropology and linguistics. He was one of the founders and main leaders of the Italian Communist Party. The fascist regime of Benito Mussolini ended up imprisoning him in several prisons (Regina Coeli prison, San Vittore prison and finally Turin prison). In 1929 he was finally able to write: he began writing the Notebooks of the prison. In 1931 he was the victim of Pott's disease, the onset of tuberculosis and arteriosclerosis. After several crises he finally dies on April 27, 1937, just six days after being released.
