Orgoglio Funesto: dramma in tre atti del Prof. Angelo Ciccarelli; Qualcuno Guastò La Festa: dramma in un atto di Louis Marsolleau [Fatal Pride: drama in three acts of Prof. Angelo Ciccarelli; Someone Spoiled the Holiday, drama in one act of Louis Marsolleau]. Brooklyn: Libreria del Proletario/ Tip. International Press of Brooklyn, 1905.
From the cover, it appears that what unites these two different plays (by different playwrights) is that they both are of the "teatro sociale" [social theater]. There is nothing in Flamma, Schiavo or Durante about Professor Ciccarelli or his…
La bandierina di Carlo Marx: dramma in un atto [The Pennant of Karl Marx: drama in one act]. Chicago: Italian Labor Publishing Co., [1917?]

Il processo muto di Sacramento, Cal. The Silent Trial of Sacramento, Cal. Brooklyn: Ed. a cura del Libreria del Lavoratori Industriali del Mondo, [1919].
This "silent" trial was part of a "frame-up," as author Jacopo Tori says. Before the "famous bombing" of July 1916, the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco had collected a million dollars to fight organized labor in California. General strikes took…

Stenographic account of the debate between Joseph J. Ettor and Arthur Caroti held in New York on the 26th of March 1911]. Chicago: I.W.W., [1911].
In the year following this “debate” between the revolutionary trade unions of the I.W.W. (and the Federazione) and the reformist A.F. of L., Joseph Ettor became one of the leaders of the Lawrence “Bread and Roses” strike of 1912. It was fateful that…
