The Capolago congress took place in Capolago, Switzerland, from January 4–6, 1891. The meeting had previously been announced with an invitation for socialists of all kinds under a later date and different location to distract the authorities. Participating anarchists included Errico Malatesta, Pietro Gori, Saverio Merlino, Ettore Molinari, and Francesco Pezzi . It was the first Italian anarchist gathering since the 1876 Florence Congress of the First International's Italian Federation. The Capolago congress inaugurated the Partito Socialista-anarchico-rivoluzionario as the anarchists established a common strategy,[1] which the participants considered a reflection of the 1872 St. Imier Congress platform.[2]
The January Capolago congress put passed a resolution to celebrate, propagandize, and endorse a general strike for May Day.[2]
Historian Nunzio Pernicone described the congress as the movement's highest point since the First International's heyday.[1]
