Tomaso Smith

Tomaso Smith (1886–1966) was an Italian screenwriter, politician, journalist, translator and newspaper editor active during the Fascist era.[1] He started his career as a stringer for the Roman newspaper Il Messaggero but was forced to resign for his socialist stance. He then embarked on a career as screenwriter and playwright until the outbreak of the War. Smith was imprisoned in a German detention camp in Italy in 1943 but was able to escape. At the end of the war Il Messaggero offered him the editor's post. In the 1950s he started a political career, fist as an independent with the Italian Communist Party, and then with the ill-fated Adriano Olivetti's party La Giustizia. (The Justice)

gollark: Sure it is. Just expand more. The universe is quite large.
gollark: The smartphone you're probably sending this from is the product of hundreds of billions of currency units of development and capital investment and probably at least 50 countries worth of supply chain.
gollark: You can't have technology and not have those. Modern stuff is complicated and increasingly so.
gollark: Possibly better off than early agricultural times?
