Description
Italian anarchist Severino Di Giovanni, one of
the most vocal supporters of Sacco and Vanzetti in
Argentina, bombed the American embassy in Buenos
Aires a few hours after Sacco and Vanzetti were
condemned to death. On November 26, 1927, Di
Giovanni and others bombed a Combinados tobacco
shop. On December 24, 1927, Di Giovanni blew up
the headquarters of the Citibank and of the Bank of
Boston in Buenos Aires in apparent protest of the
execution. In December 1928, Di Giovanni and others
failed in an attempt to bomb the train that held
President-elect Herbert Hoover.
These actions were almost as controversial then as
they would be now, and this text is the story of what
happened.
