It was formed in Paris on 27 March 1927 with the purpose of the organization of Italian antifascist forces in order to reorganize the anti-fascist movement abroad avoiding to repeat the old divisions existing in Italy before the establishment of the regime. The CAI made a public appeal signed by Claudio Treves and Giuseppe Emanuele Modigliani (PSLI), Pietro Nenni and Angelica Balabanoff (PSI), Fernando Schiavetti and Mario Pistocchi, Bruno Buozzi and Felice Quaglino (CGdL) and by Alceste De Ambris. Communists remained outside along with liberals, populars and others in order to keep contact with Italian masses "in their social defence and political resistance moves". The official weekly newspaper La Libertà was created on 1 May 1927 with Claudio Treves as director.

<i>Arditi del Popolo</i> Italian militant anti-fascist organization

The Arditi del Popolo was an Italian militant anti-fascist group founded at the end of June 1921 to resist the rise of Benito Mussolini's National Fascist Party and the violence of the Blackshirts (squadristi) paramilitaries. It grouped revolutionary trade-unionists, socialists, communists, anarchists, republicans, anti-capitalists, as well as some former military officers, and was co-founded by Giuseppe Mingrino, Argo Secondari and Gino Lucetti – who tried to assassinate Mussolini on 11 September 1926 – the deputy Guido Picelli and others. The Arditi del Popolo were an offshoot of the Arditi elite troops, who had previously occupied Fiume in 1919 behind the poet Gabriele d'Annunzio, who proclaimed the Italian Regency of Carnaro. Those who split to form the Arditi del Popolo were close to the anarchist Argo Secondari and were supported by Mario Carli. The formazioni di difesa proletaria later merged with them. The Arditi del Popolo gathered approximately 20,000 members in summer 1921.

Marquess of Castelnuovo was a title in the neapolitan nobility that was created in the late 17th century for Ferdinand van den Eynde, 1st Marquess of Castelnuovo. The marquessate was purchased by the Flemish magnate Jan van den Eynde, at the time one of the wealthiest men in the city of Naples, for his son Ferdinand. Ferdinand married Olimpia Piccolomini, of the House of Piccolomini, by whom he had three daughters. Thanks to the marriage of his heir apparent Giovanna to Giuliano Colonna, the title was inherited by Giovanna's son, Ferdinando Colonna.
