Biography

Tugardo Montanari was born in Orciano di Pesaro, Italy. Immigrated to the United States in 1903.

Not politically radical before immigrating, he became an anarchist and distributed Luigi Galleani’s Cronaca Sovversiva throughout New England by motorcycle. In 1913 he was arrested in Worcester, Massachusetts, for “lewd and lascivious cohabitation” with his companion Lucia Mancini and served six months. Arrested again May 17, 1918, in Mansfield, Massachusetts, he was deported June 24, 1919, while Mancini and their daughter remained in the US.

In 1923 he emigrated to France, where he continued anarchist and antifascist activity. He was still living there in 1977 and contributing funds to the Italian anarchist magazine Volontà.

Case

Arrested: May 17, 1918
Incarcerated: May 17, 1918
Released: Jun 24, 1919
In exile since: Jun 24, 1919
Sentence: Arrested on May 17, 1918 and deported on June 24, 1919. The source records no release on bail or bond, so custody pending deportation is recorded from arrest to sailing; if evidence of an interim release surfaces, the span should be shortened.
