Presented the book "Rol. The Illuminati" was presented

During a meeting at the headquarters of the "United States of the World", Franco Rol ‘s recent book entitled "ROL. L'ILLUMINATO" (L'età dell'Acquario editions) was presented to a group of young people.
Magician? Medium? Psychic? Magician? No, a great illuminati, as the director Franco Zeffirelli defined him. This is the key to understanding who Gustavus Rol really was, at the same time removing him from hagiographic legend and preconceived criticism.
Gustavus Adolphus Rol (1903-1994) was considered a mystery and an enigma when he was alive and for many he continued to be so after his death.
He is known for his numerous paranormal abilities (clairvoyance, telekinesis, bilocation, telepathy, healings and many others) displayed most naturally in everyday life.
An intellectual and spiritual personality of the highest level, a multifaceted artist, he asserted that science would in the future understand these phenomena and that anyone would be able to manifest them, provided they attained what he called ‘sublime consciousness’ and which corresponds to the state of spiritual enlightenment known in all religions, under different names.
This is what Franco Rol, Gustavo Adolfo's main biographer, witness and distant cousin, explains in the book "Rol. L'Illuminato", which finally aims to shed light in a concise and precise manner on who Rol really was.
Secretary General Michele Capasso emphasised the importance and clarity of the book, confirming, as he has often stated, that Gustavus Adolphus Rol is a great enlightened person.
Also presented on this occasion was the ‘Critical review - by Franco Rol - with detailed analysis of the 2023 docu-fiction on Gustavus Adolphus Rol’ by Anselma Dall'Olio entitled "Enigma Rol".
