The Federation of Italian Communist Youth ( _it. Federazione Giovanile Comunisti Italiani, or FGCI) is the youth wing of the Italian Communist Party (PCI), not to be confused with the PCI's Federazione Giovanile Comunista Italiana, dissolved in 1990, from which it takes its inspiration. Internationally, it is part of the World Federation of Democratic Youth.

Composition and activities

Members of the PCI of between 14 and 29 years of age automatically become members of FGCI. It is centred on Marxism, the Italian Resistance, and the subjects of peace, rights, the environment, work and education.

The new Federazione Giovanile Comunisti Italiani, although already locally organised in several locations throughout Italy by 31 July 1999, was officially constituted during its first national conference between 11 and il 12 December 2004 a Fiuggi (FR), at which Francesco Francescaglia was elected its national co-ordinator, in place of Alessandro Pignatiello, and was given national coordination and direction.

In July 2001 it protested at the G8 summit in Genoa within the Genoa Social Forum [ [http://isole.ecn.org/agp/g8genova/adesioni.htm GSF] ] . In the course of 2006 the federation saw its membership rise to 6000, with a solid presence in almost every area of Italy. At its national conference in 2007, Francesco Francescaglia left office to join the adult Communist party, and Riccardo Messina was elected to replace him.
