Sumario:The paper analyzes the way anarchists were understood in the work of the Italian physician Cesare Lombroso, Gli Anarchici (1894). Months before the publication of the book, some attacks against political authorities in different European countries were carried out by self-declared anarchists. Because of these acts, Lombroso carried out a study about anarchic movement. The results of these analyzes were published in that work. It is argued that his observations about libertarians had been developing since the first Congress of Criminal Anthropology (1885) and the launch of the book Il delitto politico (1890), co-authored with the lawyer Rodolpho Laschi.
