Two italian Anarchists, Alessandro Mercogliano (Sandro) and Sara Ardizzone, died on Friday in an explosion on the outskirts of Rome. According to italian regime sources, they were preparing explosives in a cottage in the Acquedotti park area.
Both Mercogliano and Ardizzone were veterans of the Anarchist movement in so-called italy. Mercogliano was arrested in 2016 and accused of association with the Informal Anarchist Federation (Federazione Anarchica Informale - FAI). Upon his arrival in ferrara prison, he refused to provide fingerprints or have his photograph taken, and was sentenced to 15 days in solitary confinement. Sentenced to five years, he was acquitted on appeal in 2020.
Sara Ardizzone was charged with robbery in 2023 for stealing a stall and political propaganda of the right-wing lega nord party. In 2021 she had testified as a defendant in the “Operation Sibilla” proceedings, following a nationwide sweep of searches and arrests by carabinieri (italy's regime militarised police). At the hearing she stated to the judge, “As an Anarchist, I am an enemy of this state and any other state. I hate the current existing order and those who hold it; therefore I believe in the righteousness of the violence of the oppressed against their own chains and against those who tighten them.”
Italian mainstream media has variously speculated that the two were preparing to attack a police station, arms company leonardo, or train lines. It was also suggested they intended to highlight the case of Alfredo Cospito. The latter Italian Anarchist is serving life without parole under the harsh 41-bis regime. In May, a court is set to rule on easing his prison conditions, which include solitary confinement 22 hours a day. Cospito was sentenced to 10 years in 2012 for shooting the head of the italian nuclear power company in the knees. Whilst imprisoned, he was convicted of the 2006 bombing of a carabinieri barracks in which unfortunately no state terrorist died.
Anarchist groups in so-called italy have released a statement in solidarity with Sara and Sandro, stating “they will always be a piece of our heart, a heart that can’t do anything other than reject the writing obituary"

Update: the riot began in one unit due to a lack of food. Hungry detainees began by simply speaking up that they were hungry but as the guards escalated, so did the detainees. The riot did not spread to all units in the camp. It is unclear if the riot is ongoing and there is no word of likely retaliation by the guard, nor of victories / escapes of the detainees.

Families of the detained are reporting that there are ongoing riots inside the Everglades Concentration Camp and are calling for solidarity action at the entrance to the site. This is the second reported uprising inside the Camp since its construction on Miccosuke tribal lands in the Everglades. Other uprisings around the country have resulted in detainees escaping as well as the 🐷🧊 killing and injuring folx.

This comes as the lawsuit against the camp continues to move slowly as the two sides argue over whether or not this is funded by the Feds and therefore subject to federal environmental law.
