Text underneath reads: "In January 1978 the Central Committee of the PSI met in Rome to convene the 41st Party Congress, which will take place in Turin at the end of March. At this Congress, Nenni will not participate for health reasons that force him to bed. In view of the Congress, Nenni talks about the problems of the Italian crisis. "The problems of the economic and social crisis have not been resolved, with some improvements in recent months on the monetary aspects of the crisis and in the defense of the lira on the domestic and world market, but also with a clear worsening in the field of production and employment, with 650,000 young people, one third of whom graduates, desperately looking for a first job or employment and with an ever-increasing number of workers enrolled in the redundancy fund or dismissal that in the South the margins of production are drying up and in the North they are affecting them. The problems of order that are also decisive for the economic and social crisis have not been solved. The problems of the internal order that between attacks and kidnappings keep the ax of authoritarian solutions suspended over the people, which right-wing extremism feeds according to its natural function of provocation, while left-wing extremism increases it by contributing to road and home safety is the priority requirement of civil national and social coexistence to the detriment of workers' participation in public life " " and the image caption reads: "Above Pietro Nenni at a meeting of the Central Committee. Until the last days of his life, the elderly socialist leader always took an active part in the life of the Party, in his capacity as President of the Central Committee. Above, Nenni in Spain with Felipe Gonzales" (translated from Italian)
