Fabio Mauri (Rome, April 1, 1926 – May 19, 2009) was one of the leading figures of the Italian avant-garde from the postwar period to the early 2000s. His work is distinguished by its prophetic insights into the role of the screen in contemporary society, as well as by his exploration of ideology, memory, and the relationship between mass media and the rise of twentieth-century authoritarian regimes.
