“Had they given me another five minutes, I would have killed another president.” - Sante Caserio when asked by an official if he regretted the assassination of French President, Marie François Sadi Carnot.
The knife in the photo is a replica of the one used against the President, and “Recuerdo” is Spanish for “Remember.” Never forget those that gave their lives for their beliefs, for anarchy.
Sante Caserio (8 September 1873 – 16 August 1894) was an Italian anarchist and the assassin of Marie François Sadi Carnot, President of the French Third Republic. Sante Caserio was the son of a boatman, who named him after the Apache famous for resisting white expansion in western North America. Sentenced to eight months in prison for distributing antimilitarist pamphlets, the young Caserio was forced to flee to Switzerland, then France. There, he assassinated French President Sadi Carnot, leaping upon his carriage during a parade and plunging a red and black dagger into his chest in retribution for Carnot’s refusal to pardon other anarchists condemned to death. Caserio was executed by guillotine in Lyon at precisely 5am, 16 August 1894. In front of the guillotine, he exclaimed “Coraggio cugini—evviva l’anarchia!” (“Courage, cousins—long live anarchy!”).
Remember our dead and fight like hell for the living!
Remember the shirt I want from like a year ago? This is the graphic and a great explanation.

Tonight my tears are for you, Guatemala. May this century bring you the much deserved change and may the United States learn to stop meddling.
