He was able to visit Gramsci’s wife, Giulia Schucht, who was having a course of treatment in a convalescent home, and her two children. In August he joined Maurice Dobb in Moscow. 38 On his return from this trip, Sraffa appeared enthusiastic and very confident about the future of the Soviet system. In 1931, he met Giorgio Amendola (1906–80), who had joined the Communist Party in 1929 and was the son of the celebrated intellectual and liberal politician, Giovanni Amendola. 39 It was to be the start of a long friendship.

To continue his work, Gramsci ordered some books from the Milan bookshop where he had an account. 43 After 1929, Gramsci had also been studying Dante’s Divine Comedy.
