Peter Thiel’s deployment in Rome carries the footprint of the British Empire. Thiel’s seminar March 15-18 was organized by a group in Northern Italy whose leader is also chairman of the “Catholics in the Conservative Party” organization in the U.K.. The group is called Associazione Culturale Vincenzo Gioberti (ACVG) and its leader, Alberto Garzoni, graduated in philosophy and theology in Padua and Oxford. He is currently a “self-employed tutor (Politics, Religious Studies, Latin) at Greene’s Tutorial College, Oxford, and WEPO (Oxford),” according to his Linkedin profile.
Catholics in the Conservative Party was founded in 2019 by Julian Brazer, a former SAS officer and conservative member of the U.K. government. Other prominent figures are Jacob Rees-Mogg and Danny Kruger. The group is stuffed with Sirs, Lords, and Barons, along with human persons. The chairman, Alberto Garzoni, has focused his studies on medieval theology and St. Augustine. Another young Italian, Mario Trabucco della Torretta, is Treasurer and manager. He is a classical archaeologist trained in Sicily and in Athens. From his profile on the Conservative Catholics website: “Recently, he has been a vocal supporter of the British Museum and the government’s position to retain the Elgin Marbles in the U.K., with numerous radio and TV appearances and articles in newspapers and magazines.”
The Trabucco della Torretta family were Sicilian landowners and became members of the nobility (Barons, or Lords) in 1787. In that period, the Mafia, or Capibastone, were the established managers of the landowners, while the latter would preferably live in Palermo, Naples, or London.
