Wu Ming have put down an analysis of the reactions of Luttazzi and of his fans. While Wu Ming support the plagiarism accuse in full, they also underline the risk of denying Luttazzi's original artistic and cultural contributions, among which they list important essays on satire, the translations to Italian of many works from [[Woody Allen]], the deep renovation he provoked in the Italian satiric landscape with his theatrical pieces and satiric TV shows, while fighting against censorship and a governative [[ukase]].

Daniele Luttazzi

Daniele Luttazzi (born January 26, 1961), real name Daniele Fabbri, is an Italian theater actor, writer, satirist, illustrator and singer/songwriter. His stage name is a homage to musician and actor Lelio Luttazzi. His favourite topics are politics, religion, sex and death.

He is also famous as in 2002 he was effectively banned from RAI, the Italian public broadcasting company, by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who was angry because Luttazzi, at that time host of Satyricon, a raunchy late night comedy show, interviewed Marco Travaglio, the author of a book that pointed at the unknown origins Mr. Berlusconi's wealth as potential links with the Mafia. Nowadays he only works in theatres. He is often cited by the European press (i.e. The Economist, Le Monde, El Pais) as proof of Mr. Berlusconi's censorship of the opposition. In addition to writing and performing monologues and theatre works, he occasionally writes political and satirical essays for Micromega and il manifesto, two left-wing periodicals.

Luttazzi is also interested in drawing, with a selection of his graphical works published as a book called Capolavori (Masterpieces). Daniele Luttazzi is also a musician: as of 2007, he released two CDs, named respectively Money for Dope and School is Boring, in which he sings in English.

Biography

Luttazzi was born in Santarcangelo di Romagna, province of Rimini. He began his comic career performing satirical monologues in theatre shows. In 1994 he performed characters in the popular comedy show Mai dire Gol (Never Say Goal), aired by Italia 1.

In 1988, his monologue won an award in a comedy contest held at Rome's Teatro Sistina.

In 1998, he began his first one-man show, called Barracuda. Luttazzi did monologues about recent news, interviews with famous showbiz and political personalities, and skits for adult audiences. The same formula was then adopted for his next TV show, called Satyricon, aired by the public channel Rai Due.

In March 2001, Luttazzi interviewed journalist Marco Travaglio about the contents of his book "L'odore dei soldi" (The scent of Money). Topic: the mysterious origins of Berlusconi's money. "Satyricon" was suspended, Silvio Berlusconi, Mediaset, Fininvest and the Forza Italia party sued Luttazzi and Travaglio for defamation, asking them 40 billions lire (about 20 million euros). Luttazzi and Travaglio won all the trials.

In 2002, Berlusconi said that Luttazzi, the journalist Enzo Biagi (the Italian analogous of Walter Cronkite) and the anchorman Michele Santoro made "a criminal use of public tv" (Rai, the State owned tv company) so Berlusconi "hoped this thing couldn't happen again." This action has since then been named the Editto Bulgaro, and had an harsh impact on the careers of those three men. Since the banning, Luttazzi is still not working in Rai, his once huge tv share notwithstanding.

After television, Luttazzi concentrated on theatre shows and bookwriting.

Luttazzi returned on tv in 2007 with the new satyrical programme "Decameron: Politica, Sesso, Religione e Morte" (Decameron: Politics, Sex, Religion and Death) for the small national private channel La7. He was suspended again after the taping of the sixth episode of the show (a monologue about the Pope's new encyclical).[1][2] [unreliable source?]

Plagiarism

Early accusations of plagiarism came in 2007, from the newspapers "Il Foglio", owned by Silvio Berlusconi, and from "La Repubblica", a centre-left newspaper often critical towards mr. Berlusconi. Those accusations [3] [unreliable source?] [4] were focusing only on very few of the jokes found plagiarized subsequently. At the time Luttazzi was back after the television ban following the Editto Bulgaro, and his new show Decameron had just been canceled by La 7.

In 2010 Luttazzi has been accused of having plagiarised many more jokes from comedians such as George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg, Larry Miller, Chris Rock and Bill Hicks[5][6]. He stated on his personal blog that he adds unoriginal material to his work as a "treasure hunt" for his fans[7], even though he previously declared that the material for his shows was original[8]. As June 2010, more than 500 jokes have been found copied from other comedians' shows[5][9].

Matteo Molinari, an italian joke writer who currently lives in Los Angeles, is contacting various comedians whose jokes have been supposedly plagiarised to get their opinion on the controversy.[10]

Fan Reaction

Fans were generally disappointed by the behaviour of Mr. Luttazzi[18], feeling they were betrayed by a person they thought of high moral fiber and integrity[19].

Other commentators, such as Wu Ming, while supporting the plagiarism accusation is full, pointed out that, with more and more jokes being spotted, many former fans were switching to angered detractors of Luttazzi, with the risk of denying Luttazzi's original artistic and cultural contributions and deep renovation in the Italian satiric scene[20].
