Life

There is little information available about Mattogno aside from revisionist or right-wing websites. According to these sources, he was born in Orvieto, Italy and is now living with his family in a suburb of Rome. He has studied Latin, Greek, Philosophy, and has undertaken Oriental and religious studies. [1]

He first came to attention with two studies, Il rapporto Gerstein: anatomia di un falso (The Gerstein Report – Anatomy of a Fraud) and Il mito dello sterminio ebraico (The Myth of the Extermination of the Jews), which he published in the Italian publishing house Sentinella d'Italia in 1985. Further outlets for his works are the neofacist publisher Edizioni di Ar, noted holocaust denier Germar Rudolf's Vierteljahreshefte für freie Geschichtsforschung and Rudolf's Castle Hill Publishers in Uckfield, UK, the revisionist L'Association des Anciens Amateurs de Récits de Guerres et d'Holocaustes, and Ahmed Rami's extreme right wing-islamistic website "Radio Islam".[1]

Together with his brother, the Traditionalist Catholic Gian Pio Mattogno, he regularly publishes in the magazine Orion. Carlo Mattogno collaborated with Holocaust researcher Jürgen Graf. He served on the Advisory Board of the "revisionist" Institute for Historical Review and as an editor of its publication Journal of Historical Review.[1]

He is editorial advisor and columnist for the journal published by the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH). The group is also a promoter of Holocaust research.[2]
