Description
The anarchists of Barre were a colorful group. Frequently on the run from the postal or other federal authorities for his publishing and anarchist activities, and looking for a new base of operations after a short time in Paterson, Luigi Galleani and his followers found Barre, where Italian stonemasons working in the quarries there, and eager to learn anarchist ideas, had settled.
Barre was a comfortable location from which anarchists wrote and published for some of the period of Galleani’s residency in the U.S., for La Cronaca Sovversiva until it was closed down under the Sedition Act of 1918, and Galleani deported to Italy.
This work was printed by the Tipografia della Cronaca Sovversiva. A report originally printed in Paris, translated from French into Italian by Giuseppe Ciancabilla. Il Gruppo degli Studenti Socialisti Rivoluzionarii Internazionalisti di Parigi was the Parisian socialist group ESRI (Étudiants Socialistes Revolutionnaires Internationalistes) mostly, but not necessarily, composed of anarchists and students.
Ciancabilla (b. Rome, 1872; d. San Francisco, 1904) was one of the most impressive anarchist speakers and writers of the period, but is now one of the least well known. Originally a socialist, after an interview with Errico Malatesta for the journal L’Avanti!, Ciancabilla declared himself an anarchist. He traveled around Europe, writing for various newspapers until he was deemed “a dangerous anarchist” and expelled from France.
He arrived in the United States just two years before the turn of the century, stopping first in Paterson, and later moving west. Driven out of Spring Valley, Illinois, and then Chicago, by police crackdowns on anarchists in the wake of the assassination of President McKinley in 1902, he finally settled in San Francisco, but died at a young age, 32.
Like that of Virgilia D'Andrea, the work of Ciancabilla fairly often sees reprinting in sprightly new formats, clearly intending to attract a new generation of readers.
