Nicola Petrina
Nicola Petrina (13 November 1861 – 28 December 1908) was an Italian socialist and politician from Sicily. He was one of the national leaders of the Fasci Siciliani (Sicilian Leagues) a popular movement of democratic and socialist inspiration from 1891 to 1894. Life Nicola was born on 13 November 1861 in Randazzo, Italy. Together with the anarchist Giovanni Noè, he set up the first ''Fascio dei Lavoratori'' in Messina on 18 March 1889, but the organisation remained dormant after the arrest of Petrina in July of that year. He was not released until 1892 when many more Fasci had been set up in Sicily. Another reason why the ''Fascio'' of Messina – formed after the example of the ''Fasci operai'' orkers leaguesconstituted in Central and North Italy from 1871 – initially did not develop was that it brought together not individual workers but the workers' associations of the city, which retained their independence, their status and economic orientation.Scolaro, ''Il movimento ...
