Waht Happened To Fakku

Presentation of the book on Michael Schirru, the Sardinian anarchist shot for the intention to kill Mussolini



of Roberto Loddo

"Fusilatu 10 Sardos isseperatos dae thang up regime. A Executioner on your un'istrada have the donatu "(I have shot ten Sardinian exacerbated by the regime. Executioner When you have dedicated a street). So begins the song dedicated to Michael from the band Schirru Sardinian Kenzo Neke. But the Sardinian anarchist will be remembered Thursday, November 11 (to 17) in Cagliari, in the council chamber of the former Chapel of Province of Cagliari (by Judge William), where associations "5Novembre" and "Asarp", under the patronage of the Province of Cagliari, presenting the book won the National Literary Prize "Grazia Deledda", "Michele Schirru life, travel, stop , imprisonment, trial and death of the anarchist Italian-American shot for the 'intention' to kill Mussolini. (Giuseppe Galzerano, Galzerano publisher - and memories of the People Acts, 1136 pages with 81 photos and documents).
During the presentation, the actress Gisella Vacca read several fragments of the book and associations collect signatures in support of the submission of a bill to guarantee affectivity to detainees. Joseph Galzerano is also responsible for the publishing house "Galzerano Editor", which publishes the series of "books of the other Italy". A collection of works dedicated to the social and political history, anarchism, anti-fascism, through the chronicles of 'migration and peasant uprisings. issues were discussed and proposed by the publisher to "give voice to the rebels and revolutionaries, the vanquished and suffering."
Like the book on the life of Michael Schirru. The work reconstructs, through a' thorough documentary research and a lucid historical analysis, the life of the anarchist Sardinia. Schirru, thirty-two, became an American citizen who emigrated in 1931 Italy is in the U.S. for an attempt on the life of Benito Mussolini. On the evening of February 3, 1931, caught in bed with a Hungarian dancer, was arrested in Rome, and confesses his intentions tyrannicide. At the news of the arrest, in Sardinia, sister, female secretary of the beam, and his brother priest, they deny him. So does the father in France. Referred to the Special Court, Michele Schirru who is not guilty or to have committed or any act of attempting to achieve his purpose, is sentenced to death, to the applause of the fascists and the press controlled by the regime. The sentence is an aberrant judicial monstrosity. The shot in the back is executed at dawn the next day. The firing squad on the orders of Mussolini, is formed by twenty-four volunteers Sardinians.
