The Ventotene Manifesto was written by Alterio Spinelli and Ernesto Rossi during their imprisonment by Italy’s fascist Mussolini government. It is one of the foundational documents of European integration, forming the basic historical text of the European federalist movement. Spinelli served as European Commissioner for six years and as Member of the European Parliament for ten years. The largest building of the European Parliament in Brussels is named after him.
