= Silvio Corio =

Silvio Celestino Corio (1875-1954), also called Crastinus, was an Italian anarchist, who was active in London in the first half of the 20th century. His activities as a socialist and anarchist in Turin were halted when he was conscripted into a disciplinary battalion in July 1897. He fled Italy for France following the ascension of Luigi Pelloux to Prime Minister in 1898 and made his way to London.

In London, he became the long-term partner of English socialist Sylvia Pankhurst, and was the father of Richard Pankhurst, born in 1927. It is believed Corio's anarcho-syndicalist beliefs may have inspired the June 1920 manifesto that Sylvia wrote for the Communist Party (BSTI) and was published in Worker's Dreadnought, and which likely set Pankhurst on the path towards council communism.
