Furio Colombo (1 January 1931 – 14 January 2025) was an Italian journalist and politician. He started his career in the mid-1950s, working with RAI. In the late 1980s, after moving to New York, he worked as a correspondent for La Stampa and La Repubblica. He wrote for various newspapers and taught at the University of Bologna, Columbia University, and the University of California, Berkeley, at different phases of his life, and served as the director of the Italian Cultural Institute in New York City. He then served as the editor-in-chief of L'Unità, an Italian leftist newspaper, before leaving due to criticism he faced for his excessive independence from the party line. He later cofounded and became a columnist for Il Fatto Quotidiano, from which he resigned during the Russian invasion of Ukraine because he said the paper had taken a pro-Russian stance and in protest of the hiring of Alessandro Orsini. He died on 14 January 2025.
