Angelo Bresci assassinated King Umberto I of Italy on July 29, 1900.

Bresci was an Italian-American anarchist who believed the monarchy was corrupt and oppressive. He traveled to Italy from the United States, where he had been living, and shot King Umberto while the monarch was on a visit to Monza, a city near Milan. The assassination was a significant event in Italian history and contributed to the decline of the monarchy in Italy.
