Giuseppe Fanelli
Giuseppe Fanelli (born October 13, 1827 in Naples ; † January 5, 1877 there ) was a revolutionary anarchist of the 19th century.
Life
Fanelli was involved in revolutionary activities in Lombardy and Rome in 1848/49 . He fought with Garibaldi's "Train of a Thousand" in Sicily . He also fought in the Polish January uprising from 1862–1863. He was elected to the Italian parliament in 1865 and fought against Austria in 1866 .
He met Bakunin in Ischia in 1866 and, at his suggestion, traveled to Spain in 1868 to recruit members for the First International . He reached Barcelona in October 1868 and made anarchism known in Spain . In February 1869 he went back to town to meet with Pellicer , Farga, and other founding members of the Spanish section of the First International . The trip to Spain had cost him a lot of money, and he was also accused of taking advantage of Reclus' republican friends by accepting funds to spread anarchism. This hit him hard and he subsequently distanced himself from Bakunin, from whom he felt financially abandoned. Fanelli took part in the anarchist international in Saint-Imier in 1872.
In 1877 he died of tuberculosis .
