Biography

Arpinati was born at

individualist-anarchist and, together with his friend Benito Mussolini, collaborated on the socialist newspaper La lotta di classe. He was a fervid interventionist as early as August 1914. In those years he moved to Bologna, where he worked on the Italian railroad. In early 1920 he founded the second Fascio di combattimento
in the city.

On 21 November 1920 he was amongst the leaders of the squads which took part in the fighting between Fascists and Socialists in Piazza Nettuno and Piazza Maggiore in Bologna (the so-called strage of

2006 Calciopoli
) to avoid accusations of personal interest.

In 1930 the PNF secretary

Bologna Stadium carried out on 31 October 1926. He was therefore charged as enemy of the regime, and confined first in Lipari (1934–1937)[1]
and then to home detention near Bologna.

In 1943 Arpinati refused a personal invitation by Mussolini to join the Repubblica di Salò, the German puppet-state created in northern Italy after the Allied conquest of the southern peninsula. He also helped various member of the CLNAI.

He was assassinated on 22 April 1945 at Argelato, one day after the Allied liberation of Bologna, by a group of communist partisans.
