Biography

During the Second World War Tullio Vecchietti participated in the Italian resistance movement. From 1951 to 1963 he directed Avanti!, the newspaper of the Italian Socialist Party. He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies for the first time with the PSI in 1953.

Contrary to participation in the government with the Christian Democracy, in 1963 he founded the Italian Socialist Party of Proletarian Unity, together with Lelio Basso, Vittorio Foa, Lucio Libertini and Emilio Lussu and Dario Valori.[1] Vecchietti was secretary of the PSIUP from the foundation until September 1971, when he was replaced by Dario Valori.

After the electoral defeat of 1972, Tullio Vecchietti, together with numerous comrades, joined the Italian Communist Party. He was re-elected deputy in 1976 and senator in 1979, 1983 and 1987.

He died on 15 January 1999.[2]

gollark: A bad rule, that.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
gollark: NopE.
gollark: It could work for swap...
