Francesco Benozzo

Francesco Benozzo (born 22 February 1969) is an Italian poet, musician and philologist. He works as a Professor in Philology at the University of Bologna, Italy, and is a Visiting Professor at the Bath Spa University, UK . He is also 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 also had a huge resonance on Italian television, as he was one of the only two university professors (among 70.000) suspended in Italy for this reason . He is the founder of the ''Observatory Against State Surveillance'', sponsored by the ''European centre for Science, Ethics, and Law''. Provided by Wikipedia
