Quote:
The skull and brain were to leave the museum on Friday, in front of reporters and photographers, for burial with the body after pressure from hundreds of petition signers. But instead, on Thursday, the remnants were whisked away secretly and buried in his hometown in the Basilicata region of southern Italy.
I wonder if the ruling elite of Italy feared an expressly Anarchist funeral. There's an upsurge in the revolutionary movement in italy, and a huge rally for a guy that popped a cap in a king isn't the best thing for the Italian state -- the workers yeah, but the state, no.
RIP Passannante
