Maurizio De Cicco was born in Milan in 1961, the city in which he lived until 10, then he moved with his family to Follonica (Gr), and after graduating in Surveying at Grosseto in 1981 he returned to his native Milan, to begin working as a sales agent. In 1986, for work reasons he transferred to Florence, where there took place the turning point of his life – 1990- when he began to frequent the Associazione Archeosofica, founded by Tommaso Palamidessi in 1968.Thanks to the reading of the ‘Booklets of Archeosophy’ he developed a passion for the study of Astrology, Herbal Medicine, Radiesthesia, Iconography, Singing, attending also the practical Courses proposed by the Association.He attended numerous Meetings and Conferences on the Knightly Cycles and of the Grail, and personally got to know Alessandro Benassai, designated by Palamidessi as his successor to the helm of the Associazione Archeosofica in 1983, the year of the passing away of the Founder.In the January of 2000, he took part in a Course of Iconography, and following a question on the matching of two Images there was born the stimulus for the study and research which led him to the publication of the first study, with the title: ‘The Face of the Resurrection and the Icon of Andrei Rublev’ Study on the Identity of the two Faces.Relying only on his own forces, and on the support, the solidarity and the friendship of those he knew, he began a cycle of presentations of his text, with a series of conferences with one sole aim: to demonstrate and affirm The authenticity of the Sindon.In the month of May 2015, he changed the title of the text into The Sindon of Rublev Study on the Identity of the two FacesIn this new text of 2017, the Author arrives at his conclusions starting from the matching of the photograph of Enzo Benassai with the Icon of the Savior painted by the Russian Monk Saint Andrei Rublev.In the course of the last three years, carrying on with his studies and researches, De Cicco has deepened in addition two striking and unique particulars, which he has taken seriously into consideration. To him, these ulterior ‘correspondences’ demonstrate even more that the Face on the Cloth of linen is that of the Redeemer. In synthesis: the Body wrapped in the Sindon conserved in Turin is that of Jesus Christ, True God and True Man.The new publication has a different structure from the previous ones, because from the initial 72 pages of the first edition it has now moved onto the slightly more than 200 of this edition, with some new items of originality regarding research, considerations, illustrations, as well as a fundamental addition to the title, which has become: ‘The Sindon of Rublev’ Study on the Identity of the two Faces and for the authenticity of the Sindon.To contact the author, please visit his site: http://sindonerublev.wixsite.com/maurizio-de-ciccoRead more about this authorRead less about this author
