	Obituary: Danilo Dolci Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		Dolci's great merit was to live the Sicilian experience at grass-roots level, to conduct painstaking investigations into living conditions, how power was devolved, and the creeping grip of criminality, and to communicate these things through the considerable power of his writing and poetic sensibility.
		Dolci became convinced that the key to progress was through education, and set up his own study centre in Partinico, the village in the Palermo hinterland that became his home.
		Danilo Dolci, it seems, is no less troubling a figure now than he was in those dark, illiterate days of the 1950s.

	Commentary Magazine - Danilo Dolci: Non-Violence in Italy (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Dolci is the young artist-architect, now thirty-six, turned saintly reformer, the exponent of the philosophy of non-violence, who has dedicated himself to the purpose of reclaiming Sicily and the Sicilians.
		...Dolci's radically different approach to the problem of poverty can be put in a number of ways, but they all amount to the belief that we cannot deal by violent methods even with those evils which we most repudiate...
		...Dolci's is a religious movement in this sense, a reversion to the concrete, the immediate, the subjective, and the practical, as opposed to the abstract and theoretical...

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Radical Innocent
		Published On By JOSEPH L. Danilo Dolci speaks of Sicily as "the world of the condemned." He is, of course, not the first reformer to set a special value on the outlawed.
		Dolci's complexity is really a radical innocence: he has an immediate and child-like reaction to wrong, and a child's ruthless logic: "I studied architecture in Rome and Milan, but one day I thought it over.
		Dolci is in this country seeking trained personnel (especially anthropologists interested in cushioning the impact of technology), advice, and financial aid.
