Suggested by user_90147

After coming to America, Sacco married Rosina Zambelli and they had a daughter named Ines from this marriage. He worked in a shoe factory six days a week, ten hours a day. He participated in the struggle for workers' rights. He became known for his speeches for improving working conditions and increasing salaries. He was arrested in 1916 for these speeches. Vanzetti has been involved in many businesses since he came to America. He was fired because of the mass strike he launched against the Plymouth company. So when no one would give him a job again, he started selling fish at a stall. The two began to engage in politics in an anarchist community founded by Italians living in America. All members of this community fled to Mexico for fear of being drafted into the First World War. After the war, Sacco and Vanzetti also returned to America and settled in the city of Massachusetts. At the end of the trial, which lasted seven years, on August 23, 1927 at 00:19, Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Venzetti were executed by being seated in the electric chair, seven minutes apart. After the news was heard, protests were held in big cities of many countries, especially in London, Paris and Berlin.
