Biography: Luigi Galleani

Luigi Galleani (1861-1931) was a major 20th century anarchist. Famous among both Italians and Americans, he was a proponent of propaganda by the deed. He was the founder and editor of the Cronaca Sovversiva, a major Italian anarchist periodical which ran for a period of about 15 years before being shut down by the American government. Several books that bear his name are excerpts from the preceeding publication. The one exception is La Fine dell'anarchismo? (The End of Anarchism?) in which Galleani asserts that Anarchy is far from dead, but in fact is a force to be reckoned with.
