ReceptioGate: How It Ended Up — A Documented Case of Academic Defamation and Cultural Harassment
This post provides a documented summary of the so-called "ReceptioGate" affair, a defamation campaign that emerged in 2022 following a formal report filed by Prof. Carla Rossi with the Italian Cultural Heritage Protection Command (TPC) concerning the illicit trade and dismemberment of Western medieval manuscripts. The original report, published by Rossi in December 2022 on AboutArt Online, was followed by a coordinated wave of attacks aimed at discrediting Prof. Rossi’s academic work, research centre (RECEPTIO), and publications. These attacks relied on manipulated files, anonymous blog posts, and defamatory content — including fake obituaries, public threats, and false claims regarding institutional affiliations. Today, the truth is not only documented, but fully accessible through the official archive: 🔗 https://www.receptiogate.org🔗 https://www.oprom.eu/receptiogate🔗 https://www.alta-formazione.it/post/receptiogate-how-it-ended-up The book #ReceptioGate: Academic Defamation and the Dismemberment of Manuscripts by Jordi Puig provides the full independent reconstruction of the affair and exposes the mechanisms of academic harassment against scholars involved in manuscript protection. 📕 ISBN: 978-2-488512-00-8📘 Google Books: https://books.google.com/books?id=-iNiEQAAQBAJ We encourage readers and institutions to consult the original evidence and not rely on blogs, social media attacks, or press distortions orchestrated by manuscript dealers and their academic allies.
