Claudio Mutti

Claudio Mutti is an Italian neofascist. In the 1960s, he was a member of Young Italy and the euro-nationalist Jeune Europe movement. In 1980 he was arrested in connection with the Bologna massacre, alongside fellow neofascist ideologues Paolo Signorelli and Aldo Semerari. He converted to Islam in the 1980s, having become influenced by Julius Evola, René Guénon, and Muammar Gaddafi. He met with Aleksandr Dugin in 1990. Mark Sedgwick describes him as an important figure in late twentieth-century Traditionalist networks in Europe.
