Beppe Grillo Career

Early life and career

Grillo was born in Genoa, Liguria, on July 21, 1948. He trained as an accountant but did not complete college. He became a comedian by chance after high school, improvising a monologue in an audition. Pippo Baudo, an Italian television presenter, discovered him two weeks later. Grillo appeared on the secondo Voi variety show from 1977 to 1978. He appeared in Luna Park by Enzo Trapani in 1979 and also in the variety show Fantastico.

In the 1980s, he appeared in Te la do l'America (1982, four episodes) and Te lo do il Brasile (1984, six episodes), in which he narrated his travels to the United States and Brazil. Grillometro (Grillometer), his appearance as the protagonist of another film created specifically for him. He appeared in a string of award-winning advertisements for a yoghurt brand in 1986.

His shows soon began to include political satire that offended several Italian politicians. On the occasion of his visit to the People's Republic of China, he attacked the Italian Socialist Party and its leader Bettino Craxi, then Prime Minister of Italy, in 1986. Grillo was effectively barred from publicly owned television as a result.

Grillo's appearances on television became rare in the early 1990s; politicians were offended by his humours, according to Mark Franchetti. When one of his shows was allowed to be broadcast live by RAI in 1993, it saw a record number of 15 million viewers. Grillo has often accused RAI of "public funds for the candidates" that abuse it for their own propagandist interests.

Grillo also took aim at the Italian Socialist Party, which in direct result in him having less television appearance since the mid-1980s. Grillo also chastised Biagio Agnes, then the STET's director, for dishonest business conduct. Grillo was known for his anti-establishment skit as well as the declaration of public policy by the 1990s. Although it did bring him focus and the development of his political base, it also pointed to a lack of television appearances.

He collaborated with Giorgia, an italian singer, on the album "Libera la mente," from her album Stonata.

Despite this exile, excerpts from Grillo's Five Star Movement political rallies are still broadcast on television, especially on political debate talk shows. Grillo returned to Italian public television, RAI, on May 19th, 2014, to campaign for Porta a Porta as part of his European Parliament election campaign. The show attracted three million viewers. Grillo appeared on stage in Italy and abroad as of August 2015. His topics included energy use, political and corporate corruption, finance, freedom of expression, language rights, child labour, globalization, and technology.

Grillo eventually redirected to the internet in order to find another outlet. Grillo first met Gianroberto Casaleggio's owner, who was inspired by his visit. With his website beppegrillo.it, he attracted a larger audience when it was launched in January 2005. The internet was seen as a counter-to-mainstream media. Grillo, therefore, was able to attract a following of non-mainstream Italian media. It also became the "headquarters" of the Five Star Movement and the main hub of the organization's operations over time, rather than a physical location. It was regarded by Time magazine as one of the most influential websites to date a year after its inception. Despite the website's success, a number of other websites were used to ramp up Grillo's help. Meetup, which was used to coordinate rallies and campaigns making Grillo's ascension even more apparent, was one of these pages. The website was also used to address Grillo's political aspirations as well as other political topics relating to the grillo.

Grillo's Italian, English, and Japanese blog was updated daily as of 2014. According to Technorati, the blog is ranked among the top ten most visited in the world. Grillo's blog was one of the world's most influential in 2008, according to The Guardian. Antonio Di Pietro (former Italian Minister of Infrastructure), Fausto Bertinotti (former President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies), Renzo Piano (Representer of the Italian Chamber of Deputies), and Nobel Prize Winners, including Dario Fo, Joseph E. Stiglitz, the Dalai Lama, and Muhammad Yunus are all among the recipients. Grillo became more involved in Italian politics, and the use of his blog to spread a political message was accompanied by a strong emphasis on the Web as the harbinger of new possibilities for direct democracy and a more democratic society, making Grillo one of Italy's most popular digital utopianism propagators. The English and Japanese versions of the blog appear to have long defunct as of mid-December 2017. The last entry in the English section is from November 2015, and in Japanese from October 2011. However, the Italian version of the website continues to be updated on a daily basis.

Political career

Grillo resigned as governor of the Bank of Italy's second governor Antonio Fazio over the Antonineneta banking scandal on September 1, 2005, using funds earned by readers of his blog. Time named him as one of the "Europeans Heroes 2005" for fighting graft and financial scandals in October 2005.

Grillo purchased a page in the International Herald Tribune on November 22, 2005, saying that members of the Italian Parliament should not represent people if they had been found guilty of a crime, even in the first degree of the three options available in the Italian system. On his website, he maintains a regularly updated list of members of the Italian Parliament who have been found guilty in both degrees. Grillo was allowed to visit the members of the European Parliament in Brussels on July 26, 2007, where he drew attention to the state of Italian politics.

Grillo has worked on numerous national and international political campaigns. He arranged a "V" day celebration in Italy on September 8th, 2007, the "V" stood for vainffanciuo ("fuck off"). During the rally, he projected the names of 24 Italian politicians who had been found guilty of crimes ranging from corruption, tax evasion, and aiding a murder. More than 2 million Italians took part in the 2011 movement. He also used the occasion to urge Italians to sign a petition calling for the enactment of a "Bill of Popular Initiative" to exclude Italian parliamentarians from office.

According to internet scholars Alberto Pepe and Corinna Di Gennaro, the first political demonstration in Italy was held and promoted on the blogosphere and social networking sites. On April 25, 2008, the second V-Day took place in Turin, San Carlo Square, dedicated to the Italian press and the government's financial assistance. Grillo has sluggishly chastised the Italian press for the lack of freedom, Umberto Veronesi for his support for incinerators, NATO bases in Italy, and politicians (Silvio Berlusconi had recently re-elected), and Retequattro for keeping frequencies assigned to Europa 7.

Grillo was the subject of a study on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's international affairs service in August 2008. Foreign Correspondent: The report, titled "The Clown Prince," included Grillo's life, political activism, the V-Day movement, and the use of the internet as a political tool.

Movimento 5 Stelle, the "Five Star Movement," a Democrat-led movement in 2010 to spread his truth and direct democracy online. Following the 2010 regional elections, the party regained sway with electoral prospects, with four regional councillors elected. The party gained more support in the 2012 municipal elections, winning the mayoral election in Parma and winning the third highest number of votes overall.

At the 2013 general election, the M5S gained 25.5% of votes, the second most popular one for the Chamber of Deputies, but only 109 deputies out of 630 were unable to recruit 109 deputies out of 630, owing to a electoral system that favoured parties running in coalition. The M5S is part of the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) party in the European Parliament.

Grillo revealed in 2014 that he was seeking four million signatures to promote his attempts to secure a referendum on Italy's membership of the Eurozone. 200,000 signatures were collected, though the minimum is 500,000, but he declared that his scheme was still underway despite the failure.

Grillo wrote a post on his blog in which he called for sorting the members of the Italian Senate and perhaps replacing voting with sortition altogether.
