On this day, 10 September 1943 in Piombino, Italy, a popular uprising took place against the Nazis who occupied the city following the Italian fascist surrender. Piombino was a working class steel town with a great libertarian tradition and a tradition above all of revolutionary syndicalism. Among the anarchists who took part in the uprising was Adriano Vanni. More info in this pamphlet on Italian partisans: https://libcom.org/history/anarchist-partisans-in-italian-resistance

“Remember, however, before all else, to strip things of all that disturbs and confuses, and to see what each is at bottom; you will then comprehend that they contain nothing fearful except fear itself.”
