Fulvio Grimaldi is an Italian journalist, television host and blogger.
Career
Grimaldi worked as a journalist and war correspondent in his 40-year career for radio (BBC), for various newspapers, and since 1986 at RAI.
In March 1999, in controversy over the war on Yugoslavia, he left state television. During the war, he went to Yugoslavia to protest the bombing by being a human shield to protect the bridges of Belgrade. He moved to the Liberazione, the newspaper of Rifondazione Comunista, a party for which he ran for the Senate in 2001, without being elected. In Liberazione he managed a column called "Mondocane" (a word that will later be the title of his blog) until he was removed from the newspaper in May 2003, a dismissal due to political conflicts, having found himself in dissent (from the left) with the party line regarding some international issues (Iraq, Palestine, Cuba and Yugoslavia).
He then worked on self-produced video documentaries on global crises and wars, dealing with international politics.
His blog Mondocane regularly publishes comments on geopolitical issues, especially in opposition to Western interventions and intelligence services, and in support of socialist governments. He deals extensively with deep politics.
In April 2021 he appeared in a documentary, The Story of Giulio Regeni, dedicated to Regeni's death, in an intervention in which points out that an Italian researcher who died in Egypt in 2014 probably was an agent of the British secret services.
He also participated in cameo as a film actor, in the film Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion from 1970, in which he played the role of Patané, a journalist for the newspaper Paese Sera.
