Gianluca Casseri

Gianluca Casseri

The psychiatrist Stefano Pallanti called him the "Italian Breivik". This refers to Gianluca Casseri, on 13 December 2011 in Florence two Senegalese immigrants were shot dead and three others wounded some of them critically, before he killed himself in his car. Until then he had in the vicinity of the "Casa Pound" in Rome, made a name with articles on their website and verquast-right with a penchant for esoteric literature. In addition, he was up to its setting in 2005 editor of the publication "La Soglia" (the threshold) and a member of the Cultural Association "La Runa" - (I think the translation is not necessary here), for which he is articles such as "Dracula, the warrior Wotan "or" The Sage of Alexandria published. "

It describes the 50-year-old accountant from the province of Pistoia as an introverted loner, fascinated by Celtic rites, neopaganism, and Tolkien's fantasy Aryan master race, which became entangled in his writings also like fantasy impacts fascist ideas. In the vicinity of the Casa Pound the man with the chubby face was rather seen as a "lone wolf" as a member of neo-fascist thugs. An intellectual ideologue of the master race, the neo-fascist movements and expert analyst of the founding myths. As a big comic book fan, he lectured at the Casa Pound repeatedly about his favorite characters and Tex Tin Tin.

Autobiographical, the man who likes to talk in the third person to describe this:

"He was born in 1961 in Ciriegio (PT), while the man flew into space and the sky is the greatest eclipse of the XX. Century obscured. At the age of 12 years, overwhelmed by the encounter with HP Lovecraft, he finally ordered removed from the surrounding cosmos. His varied interests in fantasy, not all rigorously up to date, ranging from Flash Gordon to the sci-fi cinema of the 50s, the authors of Weird Tales to Val Newton films and beyond. In 2001, at the time of the final breakthrough of the Internet, he has the brilliant idea to release a print journal, La Soglia, where he lives out his multi-media mania. To distract himself from the serious things of life, it seems as if he were an accountant. "

In the "Protocols of the Elders of Alexandria," he puts the anti-Semitic theory of world Jewish conspiracy of the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" to new and seasoned with the most extreme fits of Holocaust deniers. Created as a polemical response to Umberto Eco's "The Cemetery in Prague" in the book he reaffirms the absolute relevance of the standard work of the conspiracy. In other writings he blended Nietzsche, Freud, Evola in a defense of the Aryan master race and the pure, pre-Christian Europe. In co-authored with Enrico Rulli "La Chiave del Caos" (The Key of Chaos) he cooked black magic and the esoteric into a kind of "historical novel".

He borrowed the title perhaps his revered "scholar", the theoretician of the neo Adriano Romualdi, who died in 1973 in a traffic accident. Romualdi explains the roots of Europe from the symbolism of the Germanic myths and insists that "we must not stop to listen to his inner voice that calls to create order and support. Midgard - The Middle-earth, the world of men - must be at least defended against Utgard, against the forces of chaos that threaten the 'outside world' "care Romualdi and Casseri the mean quite seriously," a new European spirituality "based. on the (Germanic) "Roots of Europe" to bring about healing people. By defense of the self-evident "from outside" invading enemy forces.

Apparently took Casseri Europe's fate into his own hands when he shot and killed two Senegalese farmer's market vendors at the San injured Lorenzo market three and surrounded then by the police, in the underground parking garage in the heart of the Tuscan capital with his .357 Magnum shot in the mouth. Of course, distances itself from "Casa Pound" now by him and describes him as a madman. From the group of Giovanni Iannone is reported that he was only "sympathizer" was "not an activist," a lone wolf, then, who was not directly connected to the Casa Pound. Well then it's good. Amazing is that he was allowed to publish several articles in the "Ideodromo" (now, of course, largely removed from the side), which creates the ideological guidelines of the Casa Italiana Pound. Also, the Circolo "Sur Les Murs" in Pistoia, somewhere between the "social rights" and "Giovane Italia" locates and Berlusconi's "People of Freedom" connected, where Casseri was more than once invited for discussions, is just "crazy" one. Coherent takes out the statement of Stormfront "Casseri one of us".

A pseudo-intellectual accountant in the prime of life, therefore, who babbles in his texts of Jewish world conspiracy, sometimes quite complex written pamphlets that urge, that the white Europe to rely again on its Nordic founding myths in order to be healthy. Of the Nordic, Germanic races is threatened constantly by "chaos" of the outside world against which we have to defend themselves. The Holocaust denial. Unless it's all in line with his comrades, not to see why Casseri should now suddenly be crazy if he expresses a fact exactly what he advocated in his environment for years. And in fact, the comments in the forums also vary more between "hero" and "idol" and also the Casa Pound is itself made posthumously criticized for distancing from the killer: "Shame"

But his "literary work" did not have the desired effect. The described as shut Casseri found neither on the Web still on the road the following desired. In December 2004, he complains, given the task of his publications about the lack of "public" and that the "environment" to no longer exist for a few scattered groups. Possibly be met and the intellectual style of his lyrics is not the spirit of the Italian neo-fascists , he was quite content with them. And it would be fundamentally wrong to listen to the affirmations of the "Casa Pound 'belief that the estimated speaker and author, would now be rotated by a sudden, just because he put his thoughts into action. In the irrational Casseri not exploded, but he is only part of a far more disturbing development, the axes of Norway and now also in Tuscany is matched. Saverio Ferrari from "Osservatorio Democratico" which describes this:

"At the moment there is an acceleration in Europe and here in Italy we are in a period of change, will be replaced for some time because our associated with fascism symbolism by the more radical and dangerous neo-Nazism, the do with the symbolism of the culture and the propaganda has to do the Italian right. And here there is an objective responsibility of those who show this evolution toward a clearing. Rome Mayor Alemanno have, the President of the Province of Milan, Guido Podesta, to mention two names of the institutions that have taken this extreme right wing movements in their sheltered by giving them space to live, grow and transform into more radical forms given. The explosion in one day, on a square in Florence. "
