[[Serafino Romualdi]] was an Italian socialist exile who emigrated to the United States following the fascist seizure of power.<ref name"Harris97">Richard Harris Smith, OSS: The Secret History of America's First Central Intelligence Agency, Globe Pequot, 2006, p.10.</ref>

He became a member of staff in [[David Dubinsky]]'s [[International Ladies' Garment Workers Union]] in New York.<ref name"Harris97">Richard Harris Smith, OSS: The Secret History of America's First Central Intelligence Agency, Globe Pequot, 2006, p.97.</ref>

In 1942, he was sent to South America by the [[Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs]] to organise a congress of anti-fascist exiles in Uruguay. On his return, he was recommended to the [[OSS]] by [[Adolf Berle]].<ref name"Harris97">Richard Harris Smith, OSS: The Secret History of America's First Central Intelligence Agency, Globe Pequot, 2006, p.97.</ref>

In July 1944, Romualdi was sent to Italy as a Major in the OSS working with [[Max Corvo]] and [[Vincent Scamporino]].<ref name"Harris97">Richard Harris Smith, OSS: The Secret History of America's First Central Intelligence Agency, Globe Pequot, 2006, p.97.</ref>

Based at the apartment of his brother-in-law, the Italian socialist leader [[Giuseppe Lupis]], attempted to strengthen the socialists against the communists, a policy for which his authority from the [[OSS]] was doubtful. He passed funds from the [[Italian-American Labour Council]] to socialist trade unionists who were willing to split from the communist-led labour federation.<ref name"Harris98">Richard Harris Smith, OSS: The Secret History of America's First Central Intelligence Agency, Globe Pequot, 2006, p.98.</ref>

In October 1944, Scamporino sent Romualdi to the Franco-Swiss border, supposedly to deliver arms, but in reality on a mission, "planned outside normal channels" to smuggle the socialist writer [[Ignazio Silone]] into Italy to combat communist influence.<ref name"Harris98">Richard Harris Smith, OSS: The Secret History of America's First Central Intelligence Agency, Globe Pequot, 2006, p.98.</ref>
