Anna Kulischov, who had met Costa in Paris in 1876 and was another former Bakuninist, is believed to have spurred his transition from anarchism to socialism.[9]

Costa founded the Revolutionary Socialist Party of Romagna in 1881 with a small regional following.[10] Costa became the first Italian socialists elected to the Italian Parliament the next year. In 1892, he called the Genoa Congress, which established the Italian Workers' Party, which was later renamed as the Italian Socialist Party.[9]

He was later a politician and mayor of Imola and died there in 1910.[11]

The parents of Benito Mussolini gave him the middle name "Andrea" in Costa's honour.
