(Italiano) Targa in memoria di Francisco Ferrer y Guardia, educatore, pensatore ed anarchico spagnolo (catalano), che lived at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The plate is located in the main square of Arcevia, opposite the city hall and the Civic Tower, covered by stones that recall the famous Arceviese (Coming soon) . But Francisco Ferrer lived in Spain, and for several years in France, it was not never Arcevia.
But his ideas and initiatives, such as La Escuela Moderna , were very popular in the anarchist and socialist sphere of time. In particular, in Italy. So, after his execution were dedicated to him several tombstones in Tuscany, Emilia Romagna and Marche regions where these movements were stronger.
Normality, thinking that in the days following the execution there were strikes and demonstrations, particularly in Tuscany. Many tombstones were erected, and some streets named after Ferrer. Almost all of the headstones were destroyed during the fascist period.
Some of these inscriptions, original or rebuilt, even today one can still see Carrara, Campiglia Marittima (near Livorno), Novi di Modena, and Fabriano, a town near Arcevia. A Fabriano also was born a famous anarchist thinker and Italian, Luigi Fabbri.
Among these monuments dedicated to Ferrer, the most famous is probably that of Carrara erected in the 4th anniversary of the execution, shot during the Fascism and rebuilt in 1948. Today it is still honored each May 1 with a crown, signed, simply, "The Anarchists."
And speaking of the plate Arcevia? It is probably a similar case, a plate put back in the years following World War II: there is no date of posting and the plaque itself seems very recent.
The plaque is essential, the dedication is signed Peter Gori, the Italian anarchist Ferrer lived in the same year. It is remarkable that the fortress of Montsuch, where Ferrer was imprisoned and executed, is called the "Bastille", the fortress prison monarchical par excellence.
Ferrer was born in 1859 near Barcelona. He was exiled in 1885 returned to Spain in 1901, where he founded the Escuela Moderna . He was arrested the first time in 1906 as a suspect in the bombing of the wedding procession of Alfonso XIII. Released without charges against him in 1908, a year later he was again arrested as a suspect in the revolt broke out in Catalonia at the end of July 1909 and known as the Semana Tragic .
Again no evidence against him, however, was executed October 13, 1909.
And finally, about Arcevia. It is a fortified town in the province of Ancona. Situated on a hilltop in the midst of wooded valleys, is surrounded by fortified villages. In one of these, Piticchio in 2007-2008 was filmed reality Dutch De Italiaanse Droom .
