BACKGROUND

"My name is ANTONIO SOLARO. I am an Italian journalist, born in Alexandria (Egypt) in 1927. My father was Italian and my mother Greek.

I am based in Rome from 1966 as a correspondent of the Greek daily AVGHI.

During the "colonels" dictatorship in Greece (1967-1974), I published a news bulletin in Italian, called 11 La Voce della Greciall and collaborated at the publication of the Greek weekly "ELEFTHERI ELLADA" [= Eleuthere Hellada) together with other Greek journalists exiled in Italy; I also participated at the propaganda activity against the "colonels" regime in various Greek publications abroad, as well as in other Italian publications, mainly in the communist newspaper LI UNITAI, where I worked till 1983.

During those years I received many printed materials frqm Italy and abroad and also information, letters and messages from Greece ... My address is: ANTONIO SOLARO  VIA DELGI ORTI GIANICOLENSI, 5 00152 ROME (Italy)"
