Dear BTO,
Gianni Giansanti's (who died on March 18, 2009) still has this website up :

I will soon put together a post about this extraordinary photographer.

Dear Nonho,
Did you know (have you ever heard about) this 'info' about Moro?
I couldn't find anywhere on my books the number of bullets used to kill Moro. I can tell you that the days of captivity were 55, and that apparently he was executed first with the burst of a silenced submachine gun "Skorpion" 7.65 near his heart, and then finished with a Walter "ppk" caliber 9. It is not known who fired the shots (nobody took responsibility).
I am, poor me, re-reading things about Moro these days, and especially about Mario Moretti, Edgardo Sogno and the RB. I'll post something soon. Anyway I can tell you that the more I read the more
I remain convinced that the Moro assassination was real and not fake.
I will even say that I don't think the italian media in the seventies were anywhere near being completely under control like they are today, like the U.S. media were on 9/11 and so forth, even if the masonic lodge P2 was active and infiltrated in every level of the italian establishment. I just don't see fakery of these proportions to happen in that context.
I imagine cases like Moro's to be on the list of terror acts that eventually convinced the elites to simulate rather than do, because the Moro case proves that too many things can go wrong, and proves that the victims' families can be a pain. Moro's family was a pain, bugging the powers on every possible occasion to find more about the real events that caused Moro's death. As to the things that went wrong during the kidnapping and had to be corrected on the run, leaving fingerprints and smudges, the list is so long it would take a separate thread to go over it.
A lot in the Moro story was manipulated, a lot was faked, by I am quite convinced that Moro was held by an infiltrated organization called Red Brigades and "executed". At most, I could allow this idea: that as a part of the bargaining during the captivity, Moro's life was spared as long as he accepted to fake his death and disappear, maybe in a monastery or abroad. In which case, pictures of his body would be fake. This is possible, as long as we allow for the rest of the story, the ambush, the kidnapping, the Red Brigades being instrumental in the process, to be real.
For the time being I find this explanation not supported by much evidence. Except maybe just the fact that we have letters by Moro, dated around the last days of captivity that seem to talk about his promised liberation. These letters have been explained away by the RB and the media as a trickery played on Moro for some reason. But they could be a sign of an accord reached in that sense. I'll try to find out more on this.
