Anton Grigoryev's Blog

Margherita Fiorello made several public statements at me in her blog. There are some insults and accusations. I didn’t want to reply on it by several reasons. Firstly, as ancient wisdom says, if an ass kicks you, don’t kick it in response. Secondly, any my reply will provoke another stream of shit from Fiorello’s mouth. Thirdly, those who know me personally and keep contacts with me for a long time, who heard the arguments from both sides of this story, they know very well who is who. But I’m forced to give some comments and explanations, because this person doesn’t want to stop to publish her dirty libels  and proceeds to spread slander with spam emails.

Almost during a year, Margherita Fiorello doesn’t stop her dirty maniacal importunities: she bombards me with infinite stream of crazy letters containing insults at me, my wife, my friends, Russians and even the Slavs generally. She adds some moral and criminal accusations to the insults, and threats to destroy my reputation and drag my name through the mud. Usually she ends such letters with entreaties to be friendly and collaborate with her. You can add to it absolutelly crazy phone callings.
Unfortunatly, I’m not the only one, who became the subject of her maniacal importunities. Many people received unsolicited emails containing various slander at me and requests to incline me to be friendly with her. If those people hadn’t been supporting her, then she started to insult them as well. By this manner Fiorello demanded either be friendly and collaborate with her, or pay her 1500 euros of my non-existent debt. She threatened to spoil my reputation otherwise and report to the police that I stole her money. To say shortly, it was a trite blackmail.
Many times I tried to have an explanation with her, I demanded many times to stop her importunities and let me alone, but the result was always the same – the endless stream of the same insults, accusations, threats and demands to be friendly and collaborate. I was not alone. Those who tried to make her listen to reason, got only shit and gossips about them from her. After a year of unsuccessful maniacal importunities, she started to realize her threats. I know, it is hard to believe in such crazy story looking rather like a movie script. I would not believe if I heard something like this. But this is the fact. There are people who were the witnesses of this crazy story, and they can confirm my words. I never thought I can meet a maniac, but now I know what is it.
By the way, if you think that she stopped spam me after publication of the libels in her blog, you are wrong. She still sends me her crazy letters day by day. For example, during last days I got 8 unsolicited crazy letters from her at April 17th, 3 letters at April 18th, 3 letters at 19th April, 2 letters at April 20th…

There is no sense in answering all that medley of half-truth, falsifications and flat out lie she published in her blog. But she accused me of crime, she called me thief. Therefore I have to tell this story about “stolen” money how it was in actual fact.

I met Margherita Fiorello in 2004, when she appeared in Angelicus Merlin Group. She loves to repeat now that she gave me all astrological knowledges, introduced me in Italian astrological community etc. Try to find any astrological article by Margherita Fiorello or any her lecture in some astrological conference before 2004, or any her book etc. I haven’t got any success in this task. From the other hand, you can easy find the info about some my works before 2004 in About me. I think, it is enough to any reasonable person to understand who is who, and who gave to whom. Her astrological level in 2004 was quite low. She couldn’t read a natal chart at all, she ccouldn’t make any prediction with traditional predictive techniques. I suggested her to read Culpeper’s Medicine by Graeme Tobyn, and it was the first her sourse about humors and temperament. I explained her how to calculate primary directions, gave her about hundred copies of English astrological books of XVII century and so on, so on. Even the idea to study and to write about astrology in Italian Renascence art and culture was given to her by me.

About the end of 2005th or in the beginning of 2006th, ms Fiorello decided to take part in a contest for novice astrologers of CIDA (Italian Astrological Association) called “Voci nuove e nuove talenti in astrologia” (New Voices And New Talents In Astrology). But the astrological level of ms Fiorello was so low that she couldn’t write anything worth for the contest, not to speak of a victory. Therefore she offered to write something together. Of course, I wasn’t novice in astrology in that time, because of several my articles published in several countries, say nothing about Russia etc. But Fiorello was a novice without publications in magazines and lectures in conferences. She said that she has many friends in CIDA leaders, and we can take a part in the contest without any problem. Ms Fiorello considered this contest very important to her and a very good chance for the beginning of her brilliant astrological career, because some important persons in Italian astrology began their careers from the victory in this contest. She expected to win as well, because she had many friends in jury. More over, she even expected to win some prize money.
I consented to write an article together with her for this contest. It was the article about nativity of Agostino Chigi and paintings of Villa Farnesina. You can find this article in Fiorello’s blog, I think.

This article says that there is a nativity of Agostino Chigi in the ceiling painting of one room in Villa Farnesina. It is not a sensation, but well-know fact. You can visit jstor.org and search for Agostino Chigi. You will get several articles with complete description of the villa and this painting. Fiorello’s work was just to copy from these articles the description of the painting, history of villa and Chigi etc. Though it is a well-known fact that this painting is the Chigi’s nativity, but there are several opinions on the interpretation of Chigi’s birthtime and how his nativity should be understood from the painting. My work was the astronomical and astrological reconstruction and proving of one of versions of the birthtime. All astronomical and astrological part of the article is written by me without any Fiorello’s participation. And it is the only substantive part of the article that makes it an original work, not copying from other works. Any person who knows my style of natal reading and my style of usage of predictive techniques, can see obviously that astrological part is written by me. And now Fiorello blames me for the plagiarism of my own work!

The article was written and sent to the contest. It reached the final. The final of the contest was in conference in Rome in October 2006, where the authors read out their articles.

But before the conference in Rome, ms Fiorello visited Russia in June 2006. She stayed in the apartments, where I live with my wife. She stayed there during about 3 weeks. She saw my wife and our life by her own eyes. I think this fact is enough to understand that her story about seduced and cheated Margherita is either ravings of a madman, or intentional lie. I will not describe all details of her behaviour in our home, but even our cat was shocked. She had been making scandals and scenes to me almost every second day. Her behaviour was absolutely crazy. She was so impertinent that even said me several times that I must be grateful to her that she is so good girl, because any other Italian girl would throw my wife out of the window! It is about my wife, who gave ms Fiorello shelter, cooked for her… My wife is a director of one of departments of our State History and Architecture Museum. She organized especially for Fiorello visits in several branches of the museum, including Kremlin’s towers, Folk Architecture Museum etc. My wife got only pure malevolence and aggression in return, and I got only scandals, gossips and slander. Ms Fiorello loves to repeat now that those awful Russians kept her in a small horrible room during all her visit in Russia and tortured her. I just surprised that she doesn’t mention drunk bears with balalaikas.
I think, I should chuck out her from our home then and put an end to any contacts with her. But I decided to be more tolerant and patient to the psychical peculiarities of this person. It was my fault. Nevertheless, I told her then that I will not visit the astrological confernce in Rome in October 2006. It provoked series of outrageous scandals with hysterical cries and streams of tears. She told me that I must visit this conference because our article must be presented by authors in this conference. I answered that she could read the article from a script herself. But she told me that she could not answer on any astrological or astronomical question about this article, and it could be a great disgrace for her. It was quite possible, because the astronomical and astrological part of the article is written by me, and Fiorello had no idea what is what there. She declared me that if I will not come to the conference, she will drown herself in Tiber because she can’t stay this disgrace.
She was ready to do anything to make me come into that conference. She used all leverage: she appealed to my sense of duty, she cryed, wailed, wept, promissed to be a good girl and behave good way… I repeated her several times that I have no desire to visit this conference, nor I have posibility because of current financial conditions. She offered to pay all my travel expenses. I repeated her several times that I don’t want to borrow such amount. But she told that she doesn’t care about the money at all, she just need me in that conference and will pay my travel expenses. She thought then it is a very good investment in her career, more over she expected prize money to make up the charges. I consented. It was another my fault.
She gave me her card to transfer the money for the travel.

Fiorello loves to say now that I stole her credit card. She gave me the card by her own will, in fact. And it is not a credit card at all. It is just a plastic card of Italian post – PostPay. It allows to charge the card in a post office and then get the money in some ATM. That’s all. It has no relation to any personal bank account, no credits, no overdrafts etc. It’s just a common debit card. Fiorello call it VISA. It is a typical example of her half-truth. It is VISA, but VISA Electron. Everyone who has a bank account and card understands pretty well the difference and knows pretty well that VISA Electron is not a credit card. Fiorello always had complete control over the card and money. She could cancel the card at any moment. And I could get only the money she put for me. All her hints about some my artifices with her credit card is nothing but flat out lie.

Now she demonstrates the receipts of those money transfers to prove that I stole her money. Anyone to whom she showed these receipts can draw attention to the dates and get evidence that it is the money for my travel in the conference in the autumn of 2006. Fiorello entreated me to accept this money and visit the conference with cries and tears, and now this shameless person cries on every corner that I stole this money!
I visited that conference in Rome and lectured there, I discharged a liability, and I don’t owe her this money, say nothing about theft.

Any person is considered innocent until proved guilty according to law, i.e. according to fair and lawful sentence of court of law. If somebody called criminal without a sentence, it is an obvious libel. It is so in any civilized society at least.
Margherita Fiorello many times threatened to go to the police. She even send me so called denunce, i.e. her report to the police about my crime against her. It was in September 2nd, 2008. And it was nothing but fake. There was no report in fact, nor police investigation etc.
Then she published another fake report in her blog. You still can find it there in her post in November 7th, 2008. There was no investigation again.
Then she published her libel and stated that she is going to the police “next week”. And it was lie as well.
There is no investigation for now though ms Fiorello calls me a thief and keeps promise to go to the police. Why she just didn’t isued me if I made any crime?

The answer is obvious, she understands that police investigation will establish my innocence. Thefore she tries to avoid it, and  destroy my reputation without it. She expected that she can make me guilty and punished without any serious police investigation relying upon racist prejudice against Russians in Italian police. She was so barefaced that even wrote me about it openly several times:

In Italy Russian means thief, and I could write you tried to steal me Colosseum and they will believe me (Fiorello’s letter from September 3rd, 2008)

Police knows Russians very well believe and their women too. They are whores and women who live trying to seduce some old man here. (October 5th, 2008)

In fact they don’t waste time to investigate . You will have the denunce which I will put in my blog and you could never enter anymore in Italy  because you could never have a visa. (February 2nd, 2009)

She hope on some help of some her relative in the police, who can help her to work the ropes. And again she writes openly about it without any shame!

Moreover my cousin Ferdinando, who is like a brother to me, is a policeman, do you remember? (February 11th, 2009)

Moreover now my cousin does not work anymore checking roads but inside a commissariato, it will be easier…. (February 13th, 2009)

I’ve already called my cousin. I will see him next monday and then he will arrange thing for the denunce, he is a policeman, he works inside a commissariato. He will find a way. (Fevruary 19th, 2009)

My cousin told me call him a couple of days before I go to the Police, so he can call some friends.  (March 11th, 2009)

I informed this shameless person several times that I will insist on complete and fair investigation according to law, and the prejudice against Russians and her relative in the Italian police will not help her. Therefore she prefer to publish libels, to slander and to find new and new ways to make some mischief for me. Her latest threat is to tell Giuseppe Bezza that I stole his lectures and claimed them as my own. This shameless Fiorello never heard even one my lecture, she can’t undestand Russian at all, but without any shame she alleges publicly that my lectures is stolen from Bezza! More over she even invented some my “Renaissance faculty” for it…

ps. By the way, now she also threatens to write about me to Putin.
