Il Pci nella storia d'Italia : gli studi di Piero Craveri sul comunismo

The article recalls the studies that Piero Craveri, one of the leading contemporary political historians, has dedicated to the Communist Party from its origins to the Berlinguer era. The aim is to highlight, through the writings of a non-communist historian, who has perhaps most comprehensively addressed the subject, the controversial historiographical turning points, both concerning the history of the party itself and its interaction with the more general history of the country.
