With a preface by Giuseppe Altieri, who is perhaps also the translator from French, although nothing in Altieri's preface suggests as much. There is no other information about the translator in the book.

Sébastien Faure was a French anarchist, secularist (i.e., anti-clerical) and free-thought activist and proponent of synthesis anarchism (1858-1942). He engaged in politics as a socialist before becoming an anarchist in 1888. He wrote and lectured widely on the importance of the physical, intellectual and moral development of the individual.

I find no evidence that the translation into Italian and publication by Carlo Tresca's Il Martello press resulted from any visit to the U.S. by Faure.
