In Memory of Peppe Tassone

From Umanità Nova

After a long illness, comrade Peppe Tassone died (November 20, 2025) at the age of 75. At a very young age, he had moved to Paris to avoid military service. There, he had come into contact with Spanish comrades from the exiled CNT and those of the ORA (Organisation Révolutionnaire Anarchiste), at their historic headquarters at 33 rue des Vignoles. With these comrades he had shared the libertarian enthusiasm that followed the 1968 riots.

In Chicago, Rich became a political activist who demonstrated against the Vietnam War and marched at the 1968 DNC. Later, he was involved in organizing the Black Rose anarchist lecture series and magazine. An experienced backpacker and mountaineer, he traversed the glaciers of Baffin Island in his 30s and hiked the Grand Canyon in his 40s. He was an avid cyclist who commuted to work by bike for decades, rode 600 miles through France in his 60s, and continued biking long after his diagnosis.
