Togliatti’s Residence and Relationships: Nilde Iotti and Rita Montagnana
The official address of Togliatti was via Ferdinando Savoia 1, Rome, but he lived there alone; his wife, Rita Montagnana, a Turin seamstress, resided separately. He, on the other hand, lived with Nilde Iotti on the sixth floor of Botteghe Oscure, in two rooms furnished with office furniture. Nilde, opposed by the entire Party, kept an open suitcase as a sign of her desire to leave.
