Errico Malatesta: Bibliografia. Napoli: Edizioni RI, 1951. 

Ugo Fedeli was one of Frank Brand's (Errico Arrigoni) comrades in a factory in Milan whom Arrigoni identifies as an anarchist-communist. He was a frequent contributor to Arrigoni's anarchist periodical, Eresia.

Fedeli also wrote a biography of Giuseppe Ciancabilla, a copy of which is in the Collection.

This work is one of the rare bibliographies of a major anarchist figure, given that the orderliness of a bibliography (almost by definition) is not something an anarchist might naturally be attracted to. For example, despite his equally if not greater output, I do not know of a bibliography of the great Luigi Galleani, or of Armando Borghi, although the Collection includes most of the major works of each of these greater than life-size figures of the anarchist movement.

There is conflicting publication or printing information: while the cover notes Paris as the place of printing or publication, the title page indicates Naples - more likely as the place of publication - both in the year of 1951. This is virtually the same conflicting information as for another work in the Collection, Casa Savoia, which was published in East Boston, Massachusetts, but printed in Paris, although in this case by "Imprimerie Commerciale de la Tribune Républicaine, Saint-Étienne," as reflected on the recto of the rear free endpaper is the colophon.
