Luce Fabbri
Luce Fabbri (born July 2, 1908 in Rome , † August 19, 2000 in Montevideo ) was an anarchist and publicist and the daughter of Luigi Fabbri .
Life
Born in Rome , she studied in Bologna . Politically active people came and went in her parents' house, such as Errico Malatesta and Aldo Venturini. She had a brother, Vero Fabbri. She published early on in the magazine Pensiero e Volonta . Her father had to leave Italy in 1926 under pressure from the fascists. At the end of 1928 Luce graduated from Bologna through Elise Reclus. A few months later she left Italy illegally for Switzerland with the help of a forged passport and the anarchist Giuseppe Peretti. In June 1929 she met again with her evicted parents in Paris. Expelled from there, they moved to Belgium and finally settled in Montevideo in Uruguay .
In Uruguay she made many acquaintances, including Diego Abad de Santillán and Simon Radowitsky. In 1930, after the Uriburu coup , many anarchists fled Argentina. Among them was the anarchist Ermacora Cressati , whom Luce married in 1933. During the Spanish Civil War she organized support actions in Uruguay. Between 1949 and 1991 she taught Italian literature at the University of Montevideo, interrupted by the military dictatorship from 1974 to 1986.
She wrote an Italian-language part for the magazine Socialismo y Libertad and from 1930 for Studi Sociali , which her father published.
