Luis Andrés Edo: an autobiography (2006)
My initial contacts with the underground CNT came through the RENFE railway workers when I was 16 years old, at the Traction Service shop at the Barcelona Electric Engine depot, where I had started work as an apprentice in October 1939 just a week before my 14th birthday. I received my social and political education from the staff of that Engine Depot, influenced by the majority of the workers who belonged to the CNT.
Giampietro ‘Nico’ Berti (Bassano del Grappa, Vicenza, Italy, 1943) joined the anarchist movement at a young age, coming into contact with Amedeo Bertolo and the Milanese group Gioventù Libertaria [Libertarian Youth] in the early 1960s. Shortly after, in 1965, he contributed to the birth of the Federated Anarchist Youth Groups (GGAF) which became the Federated Anarchist Groups (GAF) in 1970. In 1969 he co-founded with Elis Fraccaro the Nestor Makhno group in Venice-Marghera, also affiliated to the GAF.
