(en) Carlo Carra: Funeral of the Anarchist Galli (1911)

Carlo Carra's Funeral of the Anarchist Galli (1911; Museum of Modern
Art) is mentioned as one of the 50 most important paintings of the 20th
Century (right up there with Warhol's soup!).
users.erols.com/mwhite28/20c-art2.htm

Anyone provide me to a clue as to who Galli is or circumstances regards
the inspiration for the painting?

Carra spent a few months in London in contact with exiled Italian
anarchists in 1901, but other than that did he have further contact
before moving away from radicalism?

Any help appreciated.
