Blog #Francesco Barbieri

Today, May 5th, marks the anniversary of an open wound in the history of the twentieth century and, above all, in the memory of Briatico. On this same day in 1937, Francesco Barbieri, the Calabrian anarchist who chose to challenge fascism wherever it manifested itself, was brutally murdered in Barcelona. Theorist Camillo Berneri also died, in what went down in history as one of the darkest moments of the Spanish Civil War: the "May Days."
