Wikipedia description:

Paolo Virno (; Italian: [ˈvirno]; 14 May 1952 – 7 November 2025) was an Italian philosopher, semiologist and a figurehead for the Italian Marxist movement. Implicated in belonging to illegal social movements during the 1960s and 1970s, Virno was arrested and jailed in 1979, accused of belonging to the Red Brigades. He spent several years in prison before finally being acquitted, after which he organised the publication Luogo Comune (Italian for "commonplace") in order to vocalise the political ideas, he developed during his imprisonment. At the time of his death, Virno was teaching philosophy at the Roma Tre University.
