[edit] Edit page

Hi,

I'd like to edit the Guttuso page with the following information added:

His conversion to Catholicism was under dubious circumstances as he had previously always been a staunch member of The Communist Party which he joined in 1940. His final days were shrouded in mystery as many of his closest friends, including his lover Marta Marzotto, were forbidden to see him or speak to him on the phone. His close friend, Giampero Dotti believed that a cordon sanitaire was being thrown around the painter. The doorkeeper prevented people from seeing him by saying he'd been 'given orders.' Further mystery arose when Fabio Carapezza, a junior public servant was adopted shortly after his wife's death and therefore became sole heir cutting out all friends and family.

In his final days, he was visited regularly by Giulio Andreotti. Noone knows exactly what really happened, however, In Midnight in Sicily, Peter Robb insinuates that he the painter was taken advantage of by the Italian Prime Minister and others in the final days of his death.

Is that ok, any advice? I'm asking because I'm finding this editing and linking business a bit complicated.

Thanks Amanda —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mand 77 (talk • contribs) 09:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
