Verso il comunismo [Towards Communism]. Barre, VT: Tip. della Cronica Sovversiva, 1904.

This short (13-page) pamphlet was published in Barre, VT by the Cronaca Sovversiva only about a year after that newspaper's founding in 1903 on the types of political views of different people the narrator met while a student at the University of Torino. The pamphlet was as much a warning of the approach of Communism as it was an expression of desire for it.

Pasted above the publication information on the title page of this cover-less copy is a slip on which is typed Libreria Popolizio| Road 2 Box 1| Rivesville, W. Va. 26588| U.S.A. (One wonders what publication information lies under the slip.) This seems unlikely to be the same Popolizio (Giuseppe) who was the New York-based publisher in the 1940s and 1950s, but more research needs to be done.

Stamped sideways to the right is the faint stamp of Giuseppe Galzerano of Casalvelino Scalo, which is a hamlet (frazione) in the comune (municipality) of Castelnuovo Cilento in the province of Salerno, in Campagna.
