A profile of Franco Ramella (1939-2020) is drawn herein, based on his published writings. Born and raised in Biella, a militant and an executive of the anticolonial networks and the Italian Socialist Party, then an executive of psiup, the Italian Socialist Party of Proletarian Unity, and an active member of Turin's political-cultural circles, he took up studying history comparatively late. The evolution of Ramella's journey as a researcher led him to a shift from the investigation of the development of the working classes, with a focus on conflict, to communal organisations and family relations (the high- light is Terra e telai, 1984, a classic), and then on to migration.

Abstract
A profile of Franco Ramella (1939-2020) is drawn herein, based on his published writings. Born and raised in Biella, a militant and an executive of the anticolonial networks and the Italian Socialist Party, then an executive of psiup, the Italian Socialist Party of Proletarian Unity, and an active member of Turin's political-cultural circles, he took up studying history comparatively late. The evolution of Ramella's journey as a researcher led him to a shift from the investigation of the development of the working classes, with a focus on conflict, to communal organisations and family relations (the high- light is Terra e telai, 1984, a classic), and then on to migration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
