Carlo Alberto Rosselli (16 November 1899 – 9 June 1937) was an Italian socialist political leader and anti-fascist activist, first in Italy and then abroad. He was also a journalist, historian, and philosopher who developed a theory of reformist non-Marxist socialism inspired by the British labour movement that he described as "liberal socialism". Rosselli founded the anti-fascist militant movement Giustizia e Libertà. Rosselli personally took part in combat in the Spanish Civil War, where he served on the Republican side. He was murdered, alongside his brother, by fascists in France on the order of Benito Mussolini.
