In 1950 the Antonio Gramsci Foundation was established in Rome (renamed the Gramsci Institute) with the purpose of collecting the documentation relating to Antonio Gramsci and to boost research on the history of the Italian and international workers' movement. The original core of the heritage was made up in particular of the books and magazines belonging to Gramsci, In 1982 the Istituto Gramsci Foundation was born and it has kept the historical archive of the Italian Communist Party, from the year of its establishment to its dissolution. Since 2016 the new denomination is the Gramsci Onlus Foundation.
