Paolo Treves

Paolo Treves (27 July 1908 – 4 August 1958) was an Italian politician, publicist, political scientist, academic and anti-fascist.

Following the establishment of the Fascist regime in 1922, Paolo was singled out and detained for several months by the government, primarily because of Mussolini's hatred of the elder Treves.

After fleeing Italy in 1926, Paolo became a member of the Executive Committee of the then-underground Italian Socialist Party (Partito Socialista Italiano; PSI).

He worked as a liaison officer with Italian exiles in Paris and then, following his father's death and a short return to Italy, lived in Britain from 1938 to 1944.

Paolo Treves was a cousin of the Italian writer, painter and politician Carlo Levi, who was also persecuted by the Fascist regime.
