The partisan experience
As a very young man, from the fall of fascism in Italy in 1943, he participated in the Italian resistance movement.
This experience, as well as informing his civil conscience and political vision, also influenced his activity as a historian, both with regard to his chosen field of research and the way in which he analysed it.
The job to the State archives
When war ended he was for many years a State archivist.
University professor
Pavone was associate professor at the University of Pisa.
Works
Pavone published, for Bollati Boringhieri, Alle Origini della Repubblica (To the Origins of the Republic), an historic analysis of the route that led from the demise of the fascist regime, 25 July 1943, to the advent of the Republic on 2 June 1946 .
In the 1995 he published Una Guerra Civile (A Civil War), an analysis of the origins, the motivations and intentions that underpinned the fight between fascist and antifascist Italy . An English translation of this work, published by Verso in 2013, appeared under the title "A Civil War - A History of the Italian Resistance".
