philosopher, politician, educator and theorist of Marxism, Antonio Gramsci, founder of the Italian Communist Party, found the faith just before he died in 1937 . This was affirmed Tuesday a Vatican prelate, giving official status to one of the old rumors circulating in Italy on this great symbol of moral and intellectual prestige.
Luigi De Magistris, 82-year-old, a former deputy prison Apostolic (a Vatican court dealing with problems of conscience) has made this announcement during a press conference called by the presentation of a book of pious images.
Antonio Gramsci, Marxist born in 1891, spent the last 11 years of his life in prison, where he had been confined by the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini. Ill with tuberculosis and hypertension, died of a stroke on April 27, 1937 in a clinic religious, six days after having been released.
De Magistris Gramsci explained that he had in his room a picture of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and that he had asked kiss her when he was at the deathbed. It also stated that prior to expiration, he received the last rites. "Gramsci died with the sacraments, he returned to the faith of their childhood."
Antonio Gramsci had an influence that transferred the country's borders. One of his best known theories, which had important implications for the Italian communist party, is about the role of intellectuals, not merely to produce a speech, but extends to the organization of social practices.
Since the Foundation Institute Gramsci, the philosopher and former communist parliamentary Beppe Vacca, who currently presides over this institution, noted that none of the numerous documents about the death of the politician mentioned his decision to convert. "None of the numerous documents published or unpublished on the last hours of Antonio Gramsci credited the theory of conversion," he told the Italian agency Ansa.
