Most of the early members were young workers, unemployed people and teachers. An estimate 60 people were involved in the group in Lombardy and Veneto.
The leaders of the PAC were Sebastiano Masala, Arrigo Cavallina (considered to be the ideologue of the group)
The group was dissolved in 1979

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
