Life
Corridoni came from a humble background. However, thanks to the support of his great-uncle, who was a Franciscan priest, he was able to get a good school education with Abitur in Fermo . Reading the writings of Carlo Pisacane , Giuseppe Mazzini and Karl Marx aroused socialist tendencies. In 1905 he came to Milan , where he worked as a technical draftsman in a metalworking company. In addition, he worked as secretary of the youth organization of the Socialist Party ( Partito Socialista Italiano ) and there he met the young anarchist Maria Rygier, through whom he became an employee of the anarcho-paper Rempete le Righe , which gave him a prison sentence for calling for conscientious objection to military service brought in five years. Corridoni was released after a few months and initially went to Nice . In 1908 he organized the day laborers' strike in Parma under the name Leo Celvisio . He stayed here and became editor of L'Internationale , the organ of the “Sindicalista rivolizionaria” and, like his closest companions, the brothers Amilcare and Alceste de Ambris , was involved in the Fasci d'Azione Internazionalista . When his true identity became known, he had to flee to Lugano . Due to an amnesty, he was able to return after several months and worked as a syndicalist in San Felice sul Panaro . After another arrest (he was arrested about 30 times for political reasons) he founded the newspaper Bandiera Rossa , which was not very successful. In 1911 and 1912 he worked as a syndicalist in Milan. In the Libya conflict , he spoke out against the war. He was present at the founding congress of the Unione Sindacale Italiana (USI) and became chairman of the Unione Sindacale Milanese (USM) , a subsidiary of the USI. Through successful strikes he managed to tie numerous other workers' factions to his organization. Because of his writing Riflessione sul sabotaggio (Thoughts on Sabotage) he was sent to prison again. Then he came to the conviction that the reactionary forces in their own country could only be dealt with through internationalization. He was therefore committed to "interventionism from the left" and founded the Fasci d'Azione Rivoluzionaria with a number of like-minded people, including Mussolini .
Aftermath
Giuseppe Di Vittorio, chronicler of the CGIL union, has already repeatedly stressed the importance of Corridoni for the development of syndicalism in Italy.
As a committed fighter for workers' rights, he was taken over by both the right and the left after his war death. While the left points out that the Legione Proletaria Filippo Corridoni played a key role in the victory over the fascist Squadre Italo Balbos in Parma in August 1922 , Mussolini stylized his collaboration in the interventionist movement towards the fascist avowal of Corridoni.
