what is the RECEPTIOGATE

These aren’t just aesthetic juxtapositions.
They mirror the mechanics behind ReceptioGate:

Software pretending to replace scholarship.
Blogs pretending to replace peer reviews.
Personal vanity disguising itself as expertise.

Welcome to the official ReceptioGate Documentation Platform.
This site brings together verified information, academic analysis, legal documentation, and primary-source evidence concerning the coordinated defamation campaign directed against Prof. Carla Rossi and the RECEPTIO Research Centre.

Since late 2022, following the Centre’s public reporting on illicit practices involving the commercial dismemberment of medieval manuscripts, a sustained sequence of distortions, misleading claims, and defamatory narratives has circulated across social media and certain online outlets.
This platform restores the documented truth through transparent, verifiable, and evidence-based materials, highlighting how institutional complicity and market interests can distort factual reality within the academic world.

What This Site Provides

Background and historical context of the events now known as “ReceptioGate”.
A complete evidence archive, including legal records, institutional documents, and academic analyses.
A verified chronological timeline based exclusively on primary sources.
Public statements and academic responses from scholars and institutions.
Documentation on biblioclasm, manuscript trafficking, and cultural heritage protection—central to the conflict that triggered the smear campaign.

Each section is designed to provide clarity, factual accuracy, and accessible documentation.

A once-ignored blog became a tool of reputational sabotage —
not through facts or academic dialogue, but through insinuation, distortion, and algorithmic amplification.
The figure of Bacchus with a smartphone says it plainly: image over substance, the intoxicating thrill of becoming known — not for knowledge, but for attacking a known scholar

In ReceptioGate, the hunger for attention proved stronger than the commitment to truth. And the consequences were real.

This is what happens when cultural heritage is filtered through vanity, screens, and blog-fuelled vendettas. The blog at the origin of the smear campaign has been inactive for over a year — while the scholar it targeted is more productive than ever, with her latest exposé published in the Harvard Art Law Review.

They tried to bury her with rumours — and when that wasn’t enough, they published her death notice.”
