Galvano Della Volpe (1895-1968) was an Italian professor of philosophy and Marxist theorist. In Italy, his work was seen by many as a 'scientific' alternative to the Gramscian Marxism which the PCI (among others) had claimed as its guide.

Some of his most notable works include:

• Critique of Taste (Verso Books, 1991).
• Logic as a Positive Science (Verso Books, 1980).
• Rousseau and Marx: And Other Writings (Lawrence and Wishart, 1987).

He had a number of students and disciples including Ignazio Ambrogio, Umberto Cerroni, Lucio Colletti, Nicolao Merker, Alessandro Mazzone, Armando Plebe, Mario Rossi, and Carlo Violi.^[1]
