Angelo Oliviero Olivetti (21 June 1874 – 17 November 1931) was an Italian lawyer, journalist, and political activist.
Olivetti was born inRavenna, Italy. In 1892 while a student at theUniversity of Bologna he joined theItalian Socialist Party. Following accusations of subversive activity, he fled toSwitzerland in 1898. There he eventually metBenito Mussolini. Finding only limited support for his views within the socialist movement, in 1906 he began publishingPagine Libre, a journal devoted to revolutionary syndicalism. He was expelled from Switzerland in 1912.
On 5 October 1914, Olivetti published the manifesto of theFascio Rivoluzionario d'Azione Internazionalista. Mussolini shortly thereafter joined and assumed leadership of thisFascio.
In March 1925, Olivetti was one of three Jewish speakers at the Congress of Fascist Culture.[1] He joined the faculty of theUniversity of Perugia in 1931 as professor of political science, and died soon after inSpoleto, Italy.
Revolutionarysyndicalists like Olivetti sought to change society while preserving the nation. Mussolini combined this syndicalism with strains of nationalism into his fascism.[2]
