Francesco Benozzo dating history

Details

Francesco Benozzo (22 February 1969 – 22 March 2025) was an Italian poet, musician and philologist. He worked as a Professor in Philology at the University of Bologna, Italy, and was a Visiting Professor at the Bath Spa University, UK. He was known for being an active dissident against the mass surveillance, with concrete protest actions that even led to his suspension from work for his rebellion against the power and in the name of freedom. His suspension from work due to his rebellion against the restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic by the Italian Government had a huge resonance on Italian media, as he was one of the only two university professors (among 70.000) suspended in Italy for this reason. He was the founder of the Observatory Against State Surveillance, sponsored by the European centre for Science, Ethics, and Law.
