Specialist Notes

Very interesting letter in which De Amicis reaffirms his fervent socialist ideas, discussing a case of conviction and request for amnesty for a certain Molinari, or rather Luigi Molinari, a rather famous socialist anarchist. In the following letter he clarified his thoughts, denying having ever said "no revolution is done with violence, which is a contradiction in terms". Two important documents bearing witness to De Amicis' political thought.
