Article:
During Italy's political campaign in early 2006, tensions ran high between the left and right. In the midst of this, a contentious article led to the dismissal of Francesca Ortolani, known as Viking, from her job as a video editor for an American production company.
The article, penned by someone under the pseudonym Lycantrop, reached Viking's employer before being published. The true identity and means by which Lycantrop obtained her details remain unknown, but the result was immediate termination for Viking.
Information about Francesca's employer is scarce. Referenced in her CD "Gloucester Road," her boss, known only as James, is an American filmmaker and naturalist. Magnus Torricelli, a blacklisted Italian journalist in the U.S., and a friend of Viking, expressed disbelief over how this personal information was leaked. "It’s inexplicable," Magnus commented. "Lycantrop is a faceless figure."
The British documentary at the heart of this controversy, "Hate Rock," was produced by Neil Mackay and featured an interview with Viking. According to Magnus, "The interview focused on white power music. Francesca is a nationalist active in that scene."
Amid political campaigns where allegations abound, Lycantrop wrote a provocative piece linking various political figures and media personalities. The article suggested a conspiracy involving Berlusconi, NATO, and British media, alleging Viking as a media pawn for propaganda.
In search of answers, I met Francesca Ortolani outside her university in Rome. Despite the storm, she appeared calm and determined, dismissing the wild accusations. "I have no idea who Lycantrop is," she said. "While I usually don’t take legal action, if he doesn’t stop, I might have to."
Francesca reflected on her work experience with James. "I respect his decision. Our friendship won't suffer. He’s an established professional, and I was honored to be part of his team." Attempts to reach James directly were thwarted, but through Magnus, a statement from him clarified his stance: "I advised Francesca to steer clear of white power music. She’s talented, and it’s unfortunate to lose her."
Colleagues like N., a cameraman, recalled meeting Francesca in London. He described her fondly and lamented the situation, "Our crew is like family. This Lycantrop character is causing unnecessary trouble."
Lycantrop’s article also accused Viking of timing her album release to favor political agendas, an accusation denied by both Francesca and Magnus. "I’ve never met Neil Mackay," Magnus asserted. "There’s no hidden agenda here."
When I asked Francesca about feeling targeted, she remarked, "I don’t serve any political party. It’s troubling how private information was accessed." The article had reached James and Magnus directly in the U.S., although Francesca herself hadn't seen it.
While the author remains elusive, the implications are clear: Lycantrop, whoever he is, left a ripple of suspicion and uncertainty. Magnus plans to report the privacy breach, and James is considering his options?"all while Viking braces for potential further fallout.
As the controversy lingers, Viking maintains a facade of resilience, navigating the political undercurrents that threaten to engulf her.
