HOW IT ENDED UP

Despite the scale of the attack, the campaign collapsed.
Legal action in Switzerland and Italy, international academic support, and peer-reviewed publications dismantled the false narratives. The blog went silent. The scholar it targeted is more active than ever, including with a major article published by the Harvard Art Law Review in 2025.

 

ReceptioGate was a calculated smear campaign — and it failed.

An independent academic and legal investigation confirmed what many had long suspected: the allegations against Prof. Carla Rossi were built on manipulated files, false metadata, and malicious omissions.

Fabricated documents, altered PDFs, and misleading citations were designed to destroy her academic reputation and silence her groundbreaking research into the illicit trade in dismembered manuscripts.

But truth does not vanish.
It was documented, preserved, and is now accessible for all to verify.

📘 The full story is told in the book by Jordi Puig:
ReceptioGate: Academic Defamation and the Dismemberment of Manuscripts – Expanded Edition (2024)

📚 A second volume is in preparation. It will name names.
Corrupt institutions, silent academic bodies, and defenders of the manuscript market will be exposed — with evidence.
