After World War II he approached the Italian Communist Party , making friends with Palmiro Togliatti , although many doubted his actual adhesion, or approach, to the PCI (and at the same time the Italian Republican Party , to which he was already a very young member). He died after having converted to the Catholic Church , assisted by the priests Father Cappello and Father Rotondi .The pseudonym, which he used since 1925 , was designed by him as a humorous paronomasia based on the word " Bonaparte ".
