Errico Malatesta: Errico Malatesta (1853-1932) was an enormously popular Italian anarchist, perhaps most well-known for his strong support of direct action and the general strike. A talented newspaper journalist and editor, Malatesta spent much of his life exiled from Italy because of his political beliefs.
Davide Turcato: Davide Turcato is a computational linguist with an interest in history. He is the author of Making Sense of Anarchism, and the editor of Malatesta's collected work, a ten-volume project currently underway in Italy, to be released in English by AK Press.
