He became Premier after an eventful career during which he was jailed twice. The Austrians sent him to prison in his youth because he fought for the rights of Italians, then subjects of the old Austro-Hun-garian empire. Benito Mussolini's Blackshirts forced him out of his newspaper, deprived him of his seat in the legislature and arrested him and sentenced him to four years imprisonment for anti-Fascist activities.

Released, after serving 16 months of his sentence, he took a post in the Vatican library. This connection with the Holy See gave him a measure of protection against the Fascists and later against the Germans during his activity in the Italian underground. De Gasperi's 23-year-old daughter, Anna Romana, who accompanied him to the United States, said she had many requests from friends for "those famous fountain pens that write for two years and nylon stockings."
