A Neapolitan nomad currently based in Rome, journalist and professional
revolutionary, and the strategist behind "Il Male" and "Frigidaire", the
most daring magazines to come out of Italy's social and cultural panorama
in the past 25 years. Sparagna is a multifaceted character, one of the protagonists
of the collective actions to disrupt the mass media in the 70s and 80s by
releasing false news and fake publications that were distributed as though
they were real, both in Italy and in countries like Poland and Afghanistan
that were then in the eye of the geopolitical hurricane. "Our newspapers
are fake, but they don't lie!" writes Sparagna, who in his many years of
pranks and false scoops became a theologian, a cynical economist and a rebel
Russian soldier, among other personas. "In the end - states Sparagna - the
dream of all forgers has always been to reveal true reality".
