Abstract

The centenary of the birth of the Italian Communist Party was celebrated on 21 January 2021. Why still reflect on the history of the PCI? First of all, because the PCI was the largest communist party in the Western world between 1945 and 1989. Secondly, because the PCI was a party that had some original characteristics compared to the other Western Communist Parties. Finally, because his legacy has influenced the identity of the Italian left for many years after 1989. The Italian Communist Party has left a great cultural heritage in the Italian political system.
