Dino Rondani
Dino Rondani (1868 in Sogliano al Rubicone – 1951 in Nice[1]) was an Italian socialist politician, lawyer and parliamentarian.[2] He was also the National Secretary of the Cooperative League. He was a member of parliament representing Cossato until 1914.[1]
In 1898, he was sentenced to jail for his role in Fatti di Maggio. He was given an amnesty,[1] and In 1899 he was appointed by the Italian Socialist Party to move to the United States and serve as the editor of Il Proletario (an Italian-language socialist publication) there. Rondani had written ten articles for Il Proletario since 1898.[3][4] When he arrived, he stepped right into a conflictive situation amongst the Italian-American socialists (largely caused by differences of opinion regarding Daniel DeLeon's leadership of the Socialist Labor Party). Rondani tried to reconcile revolutionary and reformist sectors of Italian-American socialists.[5]
However he was called back to Italy soon after his arrival in America, returning in 1900, as he was nominated as a candidate in parliamentary elections.[3]
In late 1902, he again visited the Americas, on a speaking tour in Argentina and the United States. In Argentina, local socialists organized various propaganda events with him as a speaker. They also organized debates with anarchists. In the U.S., Rondani visited Patterson.[6]
He represented Novara in the Italian parliament between 1919 and 1921.[1]
Rondani represented the Socialist Party of Argentina in the Bureau of the Labour and Socialist International between 1934 and 1940.[7]
