Kenyon Zimmer @kenyonz.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Fascinating. He (and Travaglio) really need more research—writing about them was very difficult because of the lack of existing work. (And, at the time, lack of digitized newspapers.) The crossover between Italian radical republicanism and anarchism seems strange today, but was once very common. 020
