Early Life
Pinelli was born into a working-class family. He worked as an errand boy and then a warehouse worker, but he still found time to read and become active with a Milan-area anarchist group in 1944 and other groups later, including a group which published the weekly paper Il Libertario.
In 1954 he found work as a railroad fitter. In 1955 he married Licia Rognini, whom he had met in an Esperanto evening course.
During the 1960s he continued anarchist activism. He organized young anarchists in the Gioventu Libertaria (Libertarian Youth) in 1963. He helped found the Sacco and Vanzetti Circle in 1965. He founded the Ponte della Ghisolfa Circle (named after the nearby bridge) in 1968.
