[edit] notoriously gay

from the article 'Notoriously gay, Visconti always preferred to have good-looking leading men, and one of his favorites was Austrian actor Helmut Berger, who played Martin in “The Damned”.'

what exactly does notoriously gay mean. the german article states that visconti never made a big deal out of his homosexuality. also berger was not just 'one of his favourites' but had a relationship with visconti. trueblood 07:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Political involvment

I think it should be mentioned that Visconti took part in the resistence against nazi-fascism and was close to the Italian communist party. See this Italian page: http://www.luchinovisconti.net/visconti_pg/visconti_vita.htm Plch 22:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
