Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Accidental Death of an Anarchist (Morte accidentale di un'anachico in its original Italian), is a satirical slapstick comedy by Dario Fo, inspired by real events in 1969, when a bomb was set off in the National Agricultural Bank in Milan. The explosion killed 16 people and injured 88. After the explosion, the police arrested around 80 Socialists, Communists, and Anarchists. The individual of note here is Francisco Pinelli, an Anarchist. Pinelli was taken in for questioning, and at some point during his questioning, he fell from the fourth-floor window of the Milanese police headquarters to his death on the pavement below. The police report on Pinelli's death claimed that it was accidental, but it soon came out that this death was a murder. The newspaper Lotta Continua soon accused police inspector Luigi Calabressi of orchestrating Pinelli's murder. Calabressi responded to this by taking Lotta Continua to court, suing for defamation. It's this death, and the court case surrounding it, that forms the background to Accidental Death of An Anarchist. |
