Life

There is little information available about Mattogno aside from revisionist or right-wing websites. According to these sources, he was born in Orvieto, Italy and is now living with his family in a suburb of Rome. It is claimed that he has studied Latin, Greek, Philosophy, and has undertaken Oriental and religious studies. There is nonetheless no verifiable evidence concerning the date or length of his studies nor whether he has graduated.
Mattogno is among those Holocaust deniers who design themselves as a "school" of historiography. He first came to attention with two pseudoscientific studies, Il rapporto Gerstein: anatomia di un falso and Il mito dello sterminio ebraico, which he published in the Italian neo-fascist publishing house Sentinella d'Italia in 1985. Further outlets for his works are the neofacist publisher Edizioni di Ar, noted holocaust denier Germar Rudolf's Vierteljahreshefte für freie Geschichtsforschung and Rudolf's Castle Hill Publishers in Uckfield, UK, the revisionist L'Association des Anciens Amateurs de Récits de Guerres et d'Holocaustes, and Ahmed Rami's extreme right wing-islamistic website "Radio Islam".
Together with his brother, the Traditionalist Catholic Gian Pio Mattogno, he regularly publishes in the extreme right-wing magazine Orion. Carlo Mattogno collaborated with Holocaust denier Jürgen Graf. He served on the Advisory Board of the "revisionist" Institute for Historical Review and as an editor of its publication Journal of Historical Review.
He is editorial advisor and columnist for the journal published by the Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust. The group is also a promoter of Holocaust denial.
