Continua la ricerca su Carlo Tresca

Questa e' favolosa (dal sito della City Lights "founded in 1953 by poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Peter D. Martin"):
"Peter D. Martin, a native New Yorker, came to San Francisco in the 1940s to teach sociology at San Francisco State College. Martin’s father was Carlo Tresca, an Italian anarchist and editor, assassinated in New York City in 1943, maybe by the Mafia. Martin created perhaps the very first pop culture magazine in July 1952. He called it City Lights after the great Chaplin film, and published Robert Duncan, Jack Spicer, Philip Lamantia, Lawrence Ferling (a.k.a. Ferlinghetti), and the first film critiques of Pauline Kael (of later New Yorker fame)".

Cioe', la City Lights e' stata fondata "dal figlio di uno di Sulmona", come si direbbe per dare enfasi.
