His father Vincenzo (1871–1957) was an evangelical preacher of the Italian Methodist Church, his mother was Paola Ciari (1870–1932).
In 1924, after the death of Giacomo Matteotti (a socialist deputy killed by the will of Benito Mussolini), Nitti became an active anti-fascist propagandist, and as a result, in December 1926 he was arrested and confined in Lipari.
Along with two other political prisoners, Carlo Rosselli and Emilio Lussu, he managed to escape in July 1929 and take refuge in France, where they founded Giustizia e Libertà, a resistance movement opposing fascism.
Taking a variety of roles in anti-fascist associations, he was director of the ANPI publication Patria Indipendente and became a commune councilman in Rome.
