Structure
In 1922 during its second congress, the new party registered 43,000 members. This was in part due to the entrance of almost the whole Socialist Youth Federation (Federazione Giovanile Socialista). The party adopted a slim structure headed by a Central Committee of 15 members, five of whom were in the Executive committee as well:
- Ambrogio Belloni
- Nicola Bombacci
- Amadeo Bordiga, EC
- Bruno Fortichiari, EC
- Egidio Gennari
- Antonio Gramsci
- Ruggiero Grieco, EC
- Anselmo Marabini
- Francesco Misiano
- Giovanni Parodi
- Luigi Polano
- Luigi Repossi, EC
- Cesare Sessa
- Ludovico Tarsia
- Umberto Terracini, EC
Tasca’s current was not represented, while Gramsci was the only representative of the Center (the other representative of Ordine Nuovo was, at the time, aligned with the Left).
The national structure included provincial federations, local sections, union groups and a clandestine organization for the fight against the armed fascist groups, the Ufficio Primo. According to the report of the Central Committee to the second congress, during the polls in the Unions (Camera del Lavoro) the communist motions received 600,000 votes.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
