Biography
Vincent Ferrero (Vincenzo Ferrero) was an Italian-born anarchist and restaurant worker in San Francisco who, with Domenick Sallitto, was a defendant in a prominent 1930s anarchist deportation case; the government tied the pair to the anarchist magazine MAN! (edited by Marcus Graham), to whose publisher Ferrero had rented space. After more than three decades in the United States he was ordered to surrender at Ellis Island for deportation to Fascist Italy. Representative Emanuel Celler of New York introduced a bill to prevent his deportation, but in 1938 — after some thirty-five years in the country — Ferrero was deported, accepting voluntary departure to an undisclosed country rather than be sent to Italy, where he feared imprisonment or death.
