Biography
editPrior to 1969, Carobbio was a member of the Social Democratic Party (PS) but was expelled from the party due to ideological differences. As a result, he founded the Marxist-oriented Autonomous Socialist Party (PSA) alongside Pietro Martinelli. In 1975, Carobbio was elected to the National Council for the PSA. In 1991, the PSA merged back into the PS, and Carobbio maintained his seat in the National Council, now representing PS, until his retirement in 1999.[1] Carobbio died on 7 November 2023, at the age of 86.[2]
