Umanità Nova
''Umanità Nova'' is an Italian anarchist newspaper founded in 1920. It was published daily until 1922 when it was shut down by the fascist regime. In some places, its circulation exceeded that of the socialist paper ''Avanti!'' Upon the fall of the regime in 1945, the publication began again, this time weekly. The paper continues today, and ''Umanità Nova'' is the mouthpiece of the Italian Anarchist Federation. Contributors to ''Umanità Nova'' include its founders, Errico Malatesta and Antonio Cieri; Camillo Berneri, Armando Borghi, Carlo Frigerio and Emilia Rensi. History Early years The paper was begun in 1909 by Ettore Molinari and Nella Giacomelli, who thought to turn the pamphlet " Human Protest" (La Protesta Umana) into a daily journal. During a national convention in 1911, the Rome Anarchist Communist Group proposed a national outlet to reach the movement outside the country, and in turn, reinforce it within Italy. In April 1919, a large gathering of Italia ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Porta Romana (Milan)
Porta Romana ("Roman Gate") is a former city gate of Milan, Italy.

Porta Romana was the first and the main imperial entrance of the entire city of Milan, as it was the starting point of the road leading to Ancient Rome. The name "Porta Romana" is used both to refer to the gate proper and to the surrounding district ("quartiere"), part of the Zone 4 administrative division of Milan (and bordering with zone 5), located south-east of the city centre.
