Il Pugnale (Italian for 'The Dagger') was an Italian-language anarchist newspaper published in Paris in 1889. This newspaper, released shortly after the Mirandola stabbing by members of the illegalist group the Intransigents of London and Paris, specifically Vittorio Pini or Luigi Parmeggiani, brought together a number of Italian-speaking anarchists, often close to the circles in which the Intransigents operated.
The newspaper, which was distributed for free and financed by the group's burglaries and thefts, was also a strong supporter of propaganda by the deed, for example, giving recipes for making explosives.
