I don't know anything about this guy but the second paragraph of the activism section is clearly just somebody's opinion of communism and has no real factual basis or references cited. I will be deleting it... djheart 06:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djheart (talk • contribs)

Death

He was not apparently killed by his bomb. Corriere della Sera published a suppressed medical report which reads that he was attacked from the back and not being wounded by a detonation his hands had only minor wounds. See http://www.corriere.it/cronache/12_marzo_12/feltrinelli-inchiesta_f191ccf6-6c41-11e1-bd93-2c78bee53b56.shtml and see also http://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/zum-tod-des-verlegers-giangiacomo-feltrinelli-mord-im-auftrag-des-staates-1.1306423 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.25.206.96 (talk) 08:11, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, your information has been incorporated into the article. Erictimewell (talk) 09:13, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I have since inserted two sentences about F's second wife Inge, mother of his son and president of Feltrinelli Editore when he was killed. There is a Wikipedia page on Inge Feltrinelli, which I have linked and made (minimally) readable. Erictimewell (talk) 10:49, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

The article is now basically the Mulholland review plus a few sentences of revision and comment. A very unsatisfactory state of affairs implying even now how divided Italian opinion is into mutually unintelligible world-views. Erictimewell (talk) 10:45, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

For the sake of a quiet life I've slightly expanded the introductory paragraph. Erictimewell (talk) 05:56, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Recent alterations to the Death section have (1) exaggerated its importance in the narrative of the life (2) deleted important material detracting from an elderly hagiographic view of Feltrinelli's death. I have tried to restore not balance but complexity to a highly contested event. Erictimewell (talk) 03:33, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Zhivago

Two new books have come out in English on the origins and dissemination of Dr Zhivago. The text has been adapted accordingly and the books given as references. I'm also trying to improve the text qua narrative. Erictimewell (talk) 01:42, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

In popular culture

This heading has always been misleading for the Neon Neon theatre piece, which might have aimed at being popular culture but was really frank, self-conscious, left-wing agitprop. Rather than delete it, I've adjusted the heading to something more truthful. Erictimewell (talk) 00:44, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Summary

I don't know where the summary at the head of the article originated, but I've deleted a certain amount of tendentious crap (F. was not expelled from the Communist Party; his membership lapsed; his terrorist groups were not Communist) and added IDs and details of his wives #1, #2 and #4. He also had a child by #4 but I can't find her details to add to Carlo, his acknowledged heir. Erictimewell (talk) 00:43, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
