"I offered to stay awake to let the others go to sleep, and everyone laughed, saying that I would not even hear the cannon! But afterwards, one by one, they fell asleep, and I am watchful over all of them, while working for those who are to come."

Camillo Berneri was born on 28 May 1897 in Lodi, Italy. He was a professor of philosophy and an active supporter of anarchism from an early age. Berneri opposed the fascist regime of Mussolini and was exiled from Italy in 1926 for his anti-fascist activities. He moved to France, where he continued to promote anarchist thought through his writings, gaining respect and popularity among the anarchist movement.
Berneri's contributions to anarchist thought were significant. Many consider him a prominent figure in the development of anarchist ideas during the early 20th century. Berneri was a vocal critic of state communism and Stalinism, which he argued was a totalitarian regime. His writings, including popular works like 'The Anarchist in the Spanish Revolution' and 'Peter Kropotkin: His Federalist Ideas', have greatly influenced modern anarchist theory. Berneri was assassinated in Spain in 1937, but his thoughts and contributions continue to inspire and influence anarchists worldwide.
