We have received the sad news of the death of anarchist comrade Gian Domenico ZUCCA.

We are deeply saddened, U Stuk, as he liked to be called, was a genial friend with an uncommon character, certainly original, an introvert, he was an educated man, mathematics teacher, multifaceted scholar of history, anthropology, ecology, geology, linguistics, dialectology, semantics, and more, he also wrote numerous essays in local and national magazines.

He was extremely attached to his birthplace Castellazzo Bormida and to popular culture, of which he was, not only an admirer but also an assiduous researcher.

He, a teacher and a man of culture, he, who had a degree in geology, he, who nurtured multiple cultural interests, he, who was interested in peasant history and the anarchist movement, at a certain point in his life, decided to speak like the elders of his land, explicitly his language, so, he would speak to you in the dialect of Castellazzo Bormida, you had to be the one to understand him, not him to explain what he was saying.

Although he was no longer an active anarchist for some time, he never stopped being a comrade, he was a contributor to the Seme Anarchico with some writings on '68 in Genoa and on the anarchists of Castellazzo Bormida (AL).

Undoubtedly his most interesting book was on the life of the anarchist bandit Sante Pollastro, which he published in 2003 "Sante Pollastro, the bandit on a bicycle," I Grafismi, Boccassi.

He participated in the conference on Sante Pollastro organized by the PerlaNera Anarchist Laboratory (May 22-23, 2010) at the Gambarina Museum in Alexandria.
