LUnità

L'unità is the Italian word for unity, derived from Latin unitas. It is used in political, social, and mathematical contexts to denote wholeness or cohesion. Common phrases include unità nazionale (national unity) and unità d'Italia (unification of Italy), reflecting the term’s historical and cultural significance in Italian discourse.

L'Unità is also the name of a historic Italian daily newspaper closely associated with the Italian Communist Party (PCI). The publication was founded in 1924 as the party's official organ and became a prominent voice for left-wing politics in Italy, reporting on elections, labor movements, and international affairs from a PCI-aligned perspective. After the PCI dissolved and the Italian left realigned in the 1990s, the newspaper underwent changes in ownership and editorial direction. The print edition was halted in 2014 due to financial difficulties, and the title has since continued in online form under various owners and management arrangements. In the years since, different ventures have used the L'Unità name as part of efforts to sustain a left-wing press presence in Italy.
