Giuseppe Rose (Grimaldi, 1921 - Cosenza, 1975) was an Italian anarchist, painter and poet.
Giuseppe Rose, born in Grimaldi (Cosenza) on 6 September 1921 and a young graduate in law, participated in the war (1943). Back in Cosenza, he began his career as a lawyer he practiced for many years. He moved to Milan and then to Switzerland, where he dedicated himself to journalism. During his stay in Milan, he approached the anarchist groups with which he sympathized. He studied political-social problems, deepened the ideas of anarchism, and deepened his ideologies. It was in these years that he assumed the direction of anarchist magazine VolontĂ , until 1972; He was a fixed collaborator of Humanity Nova and Il Libertario. Meanwhile he dedicated himself to the care and translation of several foreign works in Italian, among others the essay by M. Bakunin, God and the State. Among his publications: Marxism and Bolshevism in the face of the problem of self-management and the apories of libertarian Marxism. Unplanned early in the summer of 1975, Rose left two important works: the Bakunin Bibliography, published posthumously by Anarchism issues as a premise to Bakunin's Complete Works, and the Unfinished Anarchism Bibliography, whose preparatory materials appeared in two numbers of Volunteer Magazine (6/1975 and 2/1976). His personal library, of great value for the ancient and rare works he contains, is now deposited at the Civic Library of Cosenza.
His complex personality led him to span even in the field of painting and poetry. He held numerous exhibitions in Italy and Switzerland, won numerous awards, the last in Catania in 1974.
