Alfredo Ormando Biography

Alfredo Ormando is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on December 15, 1958 in San Cataldo, Sicily, Italy.

On 13 January 1998, Ormando set himself on fire in St. Peter’s Square close to where Pope John Paul II was addressing the crowds. Two policemen tried to extinguish the flames, and he was taken to Sant’Eugenio Hospital with third- degree burns over 90 percent of his body. He died 11 days later. Ormando was 39 years old. In a letter to a friend he wrote: “I hope they will understand the message I want to give – it is a form of protest against a Church that demonises homosexuality, demonising nature at the same time; despite the fact that homosexuality is a child of nature”.

In 2014, the filmmaker Andy Abrahams Wilson, produced a 40-minute documentary film called Alfredo’s Fire for the San Francisco-based Open Eye Pictures. Wilson argued that, “Fire was the perfect allegory for the experiences of LGBT people. Fire is at once a self-annihilation, and harkens back to the Middle Ages when homosexuals were burned at the stake”. He said that church authorities downplayed the event, arguing that Ormando was psychologically disturbed, had family problems and had not been making a protest against the Church.
