Drafted 8 November 2020 and updated 24 December 2025
A few lines of ‘reply’ to those who continue to contact me in private – or even in public, as we will see at the end of the article – regarding opinions, projects, requests for money and more.
1) I have had a decidedly complicated life, in ‘a kind of lockdown, with lawyers’ since as far back as 2004. This history has marked me.
2) I do not give opinions, advice, etc. for free, especially to unknown persons.
Maybe it is already happening but it is simply my business.
3) I deal with the Guido Venosta Foundation, whose approach to new projects is this.
Being chased, in a kind of continuous and exhausting manhunt, is not pleasant. Far from it.

For this reason I do not give my contact details (e-mail or mobile).
When you write to me privately on social media, please think that I am not, a “target”, an ATM, a post box or Father Christmas but a person, like you.
Below: the Bistefani advertisement with the claim “who am I, Father Christmas?” which has made history in advertising and which, at times, I feel is my own, in a sort of syndrome of those who try to contact me. ( I would be Father Christmas and whoever contacts me would be the confectioner).
I say this jokingly, as in the second meaning of the Treccani, but up to a point.
Last Sunday, for example, I was walking with my dogs and was approached by a person who wanted to tell me about the problems of ‘his country’ (?). This is a person who has come to my house several times, asking to meet me, but has always been turned down because I do not know her, I do not know what she wants: I am not ‘at everyone’s disposal’, especially those who do not know the word ‘politeness’.
I pulled straight and he asked me ‘but doesn’t he listen to me?’ My response was that it was Sunday morning and I wanted to take a leisurely walk with my dogs, a difficult concept to understand…. (?).
I owe nothing to anyone but my affections: I am not Father Christmas.

P.S. : on 7 March 2024, following the publication of my book “Le Ossa dei Caprotti” and podcast One More Time I was heavily vilified on social media.
I filed a lawsuit against 9 people.
Is this the end of a bad story?
A faint hope I have.
But perhaps certain events, related to my family affairs and stalking, are destined never to end.
