Finzi

Paolo Finzi (Milano 1951- Forlì 2020) was born into a family of Jewish origin who fought against Italian fascism in first person. His family history brought him almost naturally to social activism, which starts – as it did for many others – in 1968. Close to the anarchist group of which Giuseppe Pinelli was a member, he'll receive his "baptism of fire" on 12 December 1969, when he was the youngest among those arrested after the explosion of a bomb in Piazza Fontana. The completely "non-accidental" death of Pinelli will leave a mark on him for the rest of his life, as it will mark the life of "A rivista". From that moment, the connection between the two protagonists of this story will almost become symbiotic, so much so that Paolo's existential account is at the same time the story of an editorial experience lasting half a century.
