Title
Casa Savoia, Vol. II [House of Savoy, Vol. II]. East Boston: Ediz. de "L'Aurora", 1929.
Description
A good example of the international nature of anarchism is reflected in the changing places of publishing of different volumes of the same work: Casa Savoia, Vol. I was published but in Buenos Aires in 1927, two years before the publication of this Volume II was published in Boston. You can see an advertisement for it in the inside back cover of another Buenos Aires publication in the Collection (as of December 2023 uncatalogued), from 1927, Pietro Gori's La donna e la famiglia (Ed. di propaganda Culmine).
And though published in East Boston in the U.S., this Volume II was actually printed in France: on the recto of the rear free endpaper is the colophon "Imprimerie Commerciale de la Tribune Républicaine, Saint-Étienne."
L'Aurora was founded in 1899 in West Hoboken by Giuseppe Ciancabilla. The Collection includes a biography of him by Ugo Fedeli, q.v., as well as other works with connections to him.
Schicchi (b. Colesano, Sicily, 1865 - d. Palermo, 1950) was, like so many of the leading anarchists, very much part of an international movement. He engaged in lively polemics in Italy with two of the greatest of the anarchists, namely, Errico Malatesta and Pietro Gori. In addition to being active in Italy, Schicchi was also for some time active in France, working with Sebastien Faure, whose work is also reflected in the Collection, q.v.
In the U.S., he wrote for La Comune of Philadelphia and Galleani's La Cronaca Sovversiva, then published in Barre, VT.
The Collection contains a work in Italian which in English is a report of the trial of Schicchi before the Court of Assizes in Viterbo, q.v.
There are biographies of this colorful anarchist by Renato Souvarine, Filippo Gramignano and Nicola Schicchi.
