Gramsci’s Italian cannot be reliably translated into English by his editors.

Evidence

Anthony Mario Ludovici, Woman. A Vindication , London, 1923. We have been unable to trace any corresponding passage in the original, and have simply retranslated the “manifestly uncertain and inaccurate Italian”. The anti-feminist, anti-democratic tone of the passage is however quite typical of the author, amateur sexologist and translator of Nietzsche. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 2423
