caption: SICILIAN FASCI assault on the Castelvetrano district court and fire of the customs huts, January 1894. The popular movement, of democratic and socialist inspiration, was born in Sicily between 1891 and 1893 to organize peasants, workers and miners, especially in the sulfur area. The action of the Fasci reached its peak in the summer of 1893, when the conditions to be placed on the owner's counterpart for the renewal of sharecropping and rental contracts were established. There followed widespread strikes everywhere and an autumn marked by violent social clashes, up to the point of insurrection, which the leaders of the movement were not always able to control. The landowners asked the government for direct military intervention and Crispi, prime minister, decreed a state of siege on 3 January 1894, dissolving the workers' organizations, arresting their leaders and restoring order with arms.
