Alberto Cianca (1884–1966) was an Italian journalist and anti-fascist politician. He edited several significant publications, including Il Mondo, and served in the Parliament and Senate.
Cianca was born in Rome on 1 January 1884.[1][2] He had a bachelor's degree in law.[3]
Careeredit
Cianca started his career as a journalist and worked as a parliamentary reporter for the Rome-based newspaper La Tribuna.[3] Then he worked for Secolo in Milan and later, he served as the editor-in-chief of Il Messaggero in Roma from which he resigned in 1921.[3] Then he worked for L'Ora.[3]
Cianca was the director of Il Mondo from its start in 1922 to its closure in 1926.[1] The paper was the most significant opposition publication against Fascist government of Benito Mussolini.[2] Cianca also edited another anti-fascist publication, Il Becco Giallo, a weekly satirical magazine.[3]
Exileedit
In 1927 Cianca left Italy to avoid from being arrested and settled in Paris.[2] There he edited some publications and involved in the establishment of an anti-Fascist resistance movement, Giustizia e Libertà.[3][4] In the establishment of the Giustizia e Libertà he collaborated with Carlo Rosselli, Nello Rosselli, Emilio Lussu, Alberto Tarchiani, Fausto Nitti and Gaetano Salvemini.[4][5] Cianca managed to resume the publication of Il Becco Giallo in Paris, and also, he and Carlo Rosselli edited a weekly publication of Giustizia e Libertà which was also entitled Giustizia e Libertà.[6] In fact, Rosselli was the editor of the weekly between 1934 and his death in 1937, and Cianca succeeded him in the post.[6]
When World War II broke out and France was occupied by Nazi German forces Cianca took refuge in the United States.[3] He involved in the establishment of the Mazzini Society in New York City in 1940 which was one of the antifascist organizations founded by Italian political exiles in the United States.[7] Cianca and his close ally Alberto Tarchiani were very active in the society dealing with its administrative operations.[7] Cianca was also named the president of the society's New York branch.[7] Following the end of the Fascist rule Cianca and other Italian exiles returned to Italy which led to the end of the Mazzini Society.[8]
Later years and deathedit
Upon his return to Italy Cianca became the leader of the Action Party.[1][2] He was a member of the National Council and a minister in the first cabinet of Alcide De Gasperi.[1] Cianca was among the few elected members of the Action Party to the Constituent Assembly in 1946 and also, the last secretary of the Action Party before its closure.[3] Then Cianca joined the Italian Socialist Party and was elected a senator on its lists in the elections in 1953 and 1958.[1][2]
Cianca served several times as the president of the board of arbitrators of Italian journalists.[3] He died in Rome on 8 January 1966.[1][2]
