Biography
editFazio was born in Rome, Italy on 9 April 1952. He graduated from accounting at the Institute Sandro Botticelli in Rome. He left Italy in 1977 to live in Nice, France. Before leaving Italy, being attracted by the animals of the savannah, he has participated in the inauguration of the Safari Park in Rome where he took care of 40 lions in semi-freedom. Fazio was the union representative for Force Ouvrière, from 2002 to 2010. In 2002 he signed the agreement for a reduction in working hours[1] for two hotels on the French Riviera.
In 2006, Silvio Fazio published his first science fiction novel: Il Segreto della grande porta. In 2010 he wrote the biography of Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker, Il Profeta di Satana. In 2012, the author released Où les Dieux vont mourir (French), that challenges the official interpretation given by the FBI after the massacre at Columbine High School and in two documentary films, Bowling for Columbine (Michael Moore) and Elephant (Gus Van Sant). The author didn’t like the society gossip column[2] and he declined any International Book Fair that he considered not-literary conventions. Fazio wrote some short novels for anthologies for Perrone Publisher and, sometimes, he used pseudonyms. He wrote, also, articles for the Italian web log: Fronte della Comunicazione.
Fazio died on 9 May 2024, at the age of 72.[3]
