Gianfranco Sanguinetti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gianfranco Sanguinetti was a writer and member of the Situationist International (SI), a political art movement.
Sanguinetti was deported from France in 1971 and settled in Italy.
By 1972, Sanguinetti and Guy Debord were the only two remaining members of the SI. Together they wrote "The Veritable Split In The International" a book detailing the rise and fall of the SI. [1]
Again working with Debord, in August 1975, Sanguinetti wrote a tract titled Rapporto veridico sulle ultima opportunita di salvare il capitalismo in Italia (Eng: The Real Report on the Last Chance to Save Capitalism in Italy), which proported to be the cynical writing of "Censor", a powerful industrialist. The pamphlet was mailed to 520 of Italy's most powerful individuals and was received as genuine; however, after reprinting the tract into a small book, Sanguinetti revealed himself to be the true author. The revelation caused a significant scandal. [2]
Under pressure from Italian authorities, Sanguinetti left Italy in February 1976 but was denied entry to France.
