Antonio Negri, Italian political theorist, dies at 90

Antonio Negri, the prominent Italian political theorist and philosopher, has died in Paris, aged 90. 

Most known for his work on autonomism, Negri  founded the Potere Operaio (Worker Power) group in 1969 and was a leading member of Autonomia Operaia. He published highly influential books urging "revolutionary consciousness". 

He was accused in the late 1970s of various charges including being the mastermind of the left-wing militant organization Red Brigades (Brigate Rosse), involved in the May 1978 kidnapping of Aldo Moro.
