“A rogue's gallery of the great, the good and Ozzy” – THE OBSERVER “In a world obsessed with celebrity, Under Arrest is an irresistible who's who of iconic lawbreakers” – NEW STATEMENT Looking history in the face. Hundreds of famous people arrested tell the story of the short twentieth century. Singers and actors, revolutionary and mafia guys, serial killers and spies, heads of State, groups of thieves, and whores are on display. Frank Sinatra was arrested for having seduced a married woman, a young Bill Gates for drinking and driving, Martin Luther King for inciting racial hatred. And then, among others, Stalin, Lenin, Jane Fonda, Al Pacino, Al Capone, Vallanzasca, Hugh Grant, Gramsci, Pavese, Fidel Castro, Sacco & Vanzetti, Gaetano Bresci who killed the king of Italy, Aldo Moro put on police record in his "people's jail". Each
remarkable historical event remains entangled in the net of the mug shot.

Patakis (GREECE)
Nakladatelství Grimmus (CZECH REPUBLIC)

“A desecrating and refined book” – LA REPUBBLICA  The topic of this book is the message of the current pontiff as well as his moral and philosophical solidity. It examines the instructions of the prefect, the theologian lectures, and the speeches of the Pope from his arrival to Rome in 1981 up to his first encyclical in January 2006. It covers the life, the political actions (including the most unknown and embarrassing ones) of the Pontiff and it also analyzes the mediatic image of Benedict XVI – as well as how it compares to that of his predecessor. __A pamphlet useful for understanding, necessary for self-defense.

“A desacrating and refined book” – LA REPUBBLICA
“The anonymous brilliant author of Against Ratzinger analyses with shar precision
almonst everything the Pope has written in his life” – PANORAMA The first months of his papacy provoked enthusiastic applauses and even tougher confrontations. Against Ratzinger 2.0 is a libel à la Voltaire that analyzes the famous discourse of Ratisbona, raccounts a mad love story between a priest and his housekeeper, and reveals that the mayorship of Rome doesn't guarantee freedom of speech. In the end, you will assist at an epocal joint venture among the monothesitic leaders. In Against Ratzinger the argumenation is philosophical, in 2.0, primarily irony has been chosen. In order to demonstrate and to ridicule the orthodoxy of the hard-working apologists of Ratzinger, it also focuses on secondary stories, which are only seemingly unimportant. The author has chosen to remain anonymous in the tradition of the pamphlets of the 1600s. Therefore, the publisher takes responsibility for the ideas expressed.

YOUNGSTERS DON'T EXIST ANYMORE | I giovani non esistono
128 pages | 2008 

essay
“A caustic book which is every now and then exhilarating” – CORRIERE DELLA
SERA
“This essay analyses in an original way the reality of a Country which is not for
young people anymore” – LA REPUBBLICA.  
“This essay analyses in an original way the reality of a Country which is not for
young people anymore. la Repubblica The population of the western world grows
older; the elderly return to dominate pop culture and the market. In this provocative
book on the relationship between the elderly, power, and popular culture, a merciless
look is taken at present-day Italy in the hands of yesterday's young people. In pursuit of seventy years old VIPs transfigured by scalpels and synthetic hair, thrown back into the meat market by abundant doses of Viagra, they crowd exotic beaches relaxing in the sun. They resist in the blockhouses of their retirement homes surrounded by new pleasing objects, lubricated and sparkling, planning their future at the expense of those who remain, talking a lot about young people. A reflection on the phenomenon that most transforms society, changes fashions and customs, chooses the TV programs, and puts the majorities in crisis.
Stefano Benzoni
(1972), children neurospsichiatrist and psychotherapist, lives and
works in Milan. He is the author of Nove domande sulla coscienza, Il presente
discontinuo and Psychofarmers®, Isbn 2006.

Lori Sammartino
ITALIAN SUNDAYS | La domenica degli italiani

Photographic book, hardback
230 pages | 2009
With a preface by Ennio Flaiano and a note by Maurizio Costanzo

“A fascinating story where the images talk about our cities and the thin extravagance
of their citizens” – IL MESSAGGERO
These pages by Lori Sammartino form a long story in which images from Italian
cities and their inhabitants' subtle and ever-amazing extravagance take a leading role.
Sammartino's look is that of a writer at rest: he is attracted by the minor details of life
in the streets, those details that inspirit a city and comfort the voluntarily
unemployed. The photos collected in this book have the quality of happy moments
captured with the self-confidence of young people craving for memories and loving life, which consumes itself before their eyes the very moment it happens. Capturing
that fleeting moment is the secret. But only affectionate irony, only true love for one's
neighbor can help an artist harbor those - ultimately desperate - memories. (From
Ennio Flaiano's preface)

Lori Sammartino
(1924-1971) was a photographer and an artist. Her pictures
appeared on many illustrated books.

Ennio Flaiano
(1910-1972) was a screenwriter, playwright, novelist, journalist and
drama critic. He is best known for his work with Federico Fellini.

Alessandro Scotti
CHASING THE DRAGON | Narcotica
essay
416 pages | 2007

“His talent has transformed the tragic plight of a few into a global campaign against narco-trafficking. He shows us the face of addiction, exploitation and physical suffering, and challenges us to respond” – UN DRUGS AND CRIME EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Clandestine worlds, meetings, corruption and violence on the drug traffic routes, in the most global of the markets. Six years were spent Chasing the Dragon among opium growers and crack houses in Bogotà; on the airplanes of the anti-drug police who spend every night controlling the Carribbean sea as well as under the burqua of an elderly female Afghani heroin addict. From Tagikistan to Colombia, from Pakistan to Liberia, from Guinea Bissau to Myanmar. A long report which raccounts with precision and humanity how drugs are simultaneously tools of survival, an obsession, a motive for living, goods for exchange, and the tipping point on the scale of delicate geopolitical equilibria. Without the moralism and the heroism of a frontline journalist, Scotti’s story and pictures form an extraordinary, exciting,
painful and sincere action movie.

PSYCHOFARMERS®
non fiction / illustrated
304 pages | 2006


“Brilliant. a perfect alchemy of witty erudition and focused enthusiasm” – LA
STAMPA
“Psychofarmers® is a precious and unique book” – IL SOLE 24 ORE
A complete history of psychopharmaceuticals from when they appeared to their
recent explosion. Each day, four million Italians consume the "happiness pills", a
mass phenomenon not yet described adequately. A story that moves forward on a
double plane: on one side there are the theories on psycofarmacology’s influence on
the collective imagination (from Marilyn Monroe to President Cossiga). On the other
side, it’s a real guide to the (non)-use of psychotropic drugs and which contains a
series of useful and clear pieces of information for everybody: the mechanisms of
drug action, the collateral effects, and the dangers, positioned under a more general
reflection on the psychiatric question and its role in the modern times.

Pietro Adamo
(1959), is a professor of Modern History. His books include Il Dio dei
blasfemi and Il porno di massa. (The God of the Blasphemers and Mass Porn).
