Gaetano Bresci (1869 - May 22, 1901), was an Italian-American anarchist who assassinated Italian King Humbert I.
Bresci was born in Tuscany, and emigrated from Italy to the United States of America, making his living as a weaver in Paterson, New Jersey, which had a large Italian-American anarchist community.

 Gaetano Bresci the anarchist who killed the King of Italy - Mucri - Criminology Museum
Bresci himself supplied the motive for his action: he wanted to avenge the workers killed two years earlier in Milan during a demonstration against the high cost of living.
Gaetano Bresci was sent up for trial by the Milan Court of Assizes and the trial was unusually rapid for those days.
On his arrest Bresci stated that he championed revolutionary anarchist principles and that he was a member of an anarchist circle that published the periodical The Social Question at Patterson in the United States, where he was officially employed in a textile factory.

He was sentenced in Milan on August 29, 1900, to hard labor at Santo Stefano prison on Ventotene Island, where numerous other anarchists had also been sent over the years.
There he was found dead in prison less than a year later, which was attributed to suicide, although he was almost certainly murdered by the guards.

 The Anarchists Chapter 10
Gaetano had two brothers, Lorenzo, a bootmaker, Angelo, a lieutenant in the artillery service, and a sister, Teresa, married to a certain Marocci, a man of private means.
Bresci associated with them, and was gradually drawn into their schemes, the chief of which was the assassination of King Humbert, whom they held responsible for those economic conditions which caused so much suffering in Italy, and impelled so many Italians to seek new homes across the Atlantic.
Nothing, however, could save Bresci from the extreme penalty of the law, which, the death sentence being abolished, was imprisonment for life, the first seven years to be spent in secret cellular confinement.

I read Arrigo Petacco’s book on Bresci, an essay by Armando Meoni in a magazine from Prato and a French comrade wrote me to say that she was in touch with Bresci’s daughters in America, but at the time it never even occurred to me to press her for the addresses.
Bresci was Italy’s most closely watched prisoner and in those circumstances there was no way for him to attempt, let alone contemplate suicide.
Bresci stated plainly that he wished only to strike at the king, identifying the king as the embodiment of responsibility for poverty, hunger, emigration and the cannon-fire of Bava Beccaris.
