Teresio Olivelli was an Italian teacher and resistance fighter who lived from 1916 to 1945. After studying law in Pavia, he served in the Spanish Civil War and later in Russia during World War II. His opposition to the fascist regime grew through his legal work and his involvement in the Italian Resistance, where he founded the underground newspaper *Il ribelle*. He was eventually captured and sent to the Hersbruck concentration camp, where he died following an assault on another inmate.
