Florencio Sanchez was born on January 17, 1875 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Florencio Sánchez's parents moved him and his eleven siblings to the city of Treinta y Tres and later to Minas.
Florencio attended elementary school in Minas. After abandoning high school, Sánchez alternated his life between Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Rosario.
At a very young age, Florencio published a few satirical articles in a newspaper and participated as actor and author in some family musicals. His intense works in journalism and theater unfolded in Buenos Aires and Rosario. In Montevideo he joined the International Center for Social Studies. In Rosario he was a secretary for the writing department of La República, a publication led by Lisandro de la Torre. His first writings of a social and political nature were published in La República.
After Florencio's return to Montevideo in 1894, he began working as a journalist for the newspapers El Nacional, La Razón, and El Siglo. He published interviews and wrote political articles. He started to participate in intellectual circles and the Buenos Aires night life. Sánchez's plays Ladrones and Puertas adentro were written in the anarchist model. In 1906, Sánchez settled in La Plata, where he worked for the Office of Anthropometric Identification, which was funded by Juan Vucetich.
Sánchez was a supporter of the conservative nationalist leader Aparicio Saravia. He sided with Saravia in the Uruguayan Civil War of 1897, but disillusioned by its aftermath, Sánchez became an anarchist and wrote for the anarchist periodical La Protesta.
Sánchez married Catalina Raventos on September 25, 1903, after being in a relationship with her since 1897.
