Biography
Tomaso Smith (15 June 1886 – 27 May 1966) was an Italian screenwriter, politician, journalist, translator and newspaper editor active during the Fascist era. He started his career as a stringer for the Roman newspaper Il Messaggero but was forced to resign for his socialist stance. He then embarked on a career as a screenwriter and playwright until the outbreak of the War. Smith was imprisoned in a German detention camp in Italy in 1943 but was able to escape. At the end of the war Il Messaggero offered him the editor's post. In the 1950s he began a career in politics, first as an independent with the Italian Communist Party and then with Adriano Olivetti's Community Movement, where he was involved in attempts to start a newspaper, La Giustizia ("Justice").
