Exhibition 'Sylvia and Silvio' https://www.wcml.org.uk/whats-on/events/exhibition-sylvia-and-silvio/
"A guest exhibition about Sylvia Pankhurst and her companion, Silvio Corio, illustrating the lifelong activities of this couple in spearheading campaigns centred on social justice, human rights and anti-fascism.
Silvio was an Italian revolutionary who arrived in London in 1900 after fleeing his country having been involved in anarchist and socialist militancy. He was aged 41 at the time of meeting Pankhurst in 1917. She was then 34, and already famous as a leading suffragette, with a passionate interest in anti-colonialism, humanitarian issues and revolutionary politics.
It was a meeting of minds that led to an intense collaboration, battling for justice and human rights.
The exhibition is curated by Alfio Bernabei, based on research for his book about fascism and anti-fascism among Italians in the UK between 1920 and 1940, and his award-winning Channel 4 documentary Dangerous Characters about Italian political refugees in the UK and the sinking of the Arandora Star in which 476 Italian civilian internees died on 2 July 1940".*
Event location: Working Class Movement Library
Runs: From 29th Mar 2019 to 23rd May 2019
