At the turn of the 1960s, the international communist movement reckoned with the wave of decolonisation in Africa, with the aim of extending the socialist model to the newly independent States. In this context, the Italian Communist Party presented itself as an «ambassador» of the communist movement and as an advocate of a polycentric socialism that dialogued well with African anti-colonialists. The beginning of the «Italian way to socialism» lent itself to an encounter with new progressive experiences in West Africa that undertook an original socialist development with the collaboration of the Eastern bloc – a development that opened parallel diplomatic channels with Italian society and politics, while also playing a key role for international communism on the African continent. These relations facilitated the encounter with the Portuguese anticolonial movements and were part of a new reading of the Cold War and European-African relations in the 1970s.
