Gabriella Segata Antolini
Appearance
Gabriella Segata Antolini
Anarchy movement activist Gabriella (“Ella”) Antolini was born in 1899 in Italy’s Ferrara Province.[1] She immigrated to the United States along with her family in 1913. Upon first arrival, the family got jobs in contract labor in Louisiana. They later settled in the northeastern part of the country.
Antolini joined the anarchist movement in 1916 after having prior exposure to a newspaper called Cronaca Sovversiva.
She married August Segata, a member of an Italian insurrection organization, in 1916.
Antolini was arrested in 1918 for transporting dynamite to Chicago and spent six months in a prison in Jefferson City, Missouri. Also imprisoned in the same facility were Emma Goldman and Kate Richards O’Hare.
