Testo tradotto da “Un Maestro per caso”
Good evening to all, dear Brothers,
Since no one has taken up the difficult task, I will attempt to answer the question that appeared at 12:46 on your Telegram channel, quoting Claudio Bonvecchio: “What exactly is this Extraordinary Grand Lodge for???
To interpret the interpretation of the civil judges, possibly contradicting it? ”The essential answer to the question is: YES. However, what the 554 “lackeys” — elevated to the rank of “Worshipful Masters” only by a mocking twist of fate — are about to do will not directly concern the decision to be taken at the hearing scheduled for 4 March next. Rather, it represents a blatant attempt to circumvent the precautionary order issued on 28 January 2026 by Judge Dr. Flora Mazzaro of the XVI Civil Division of the Rome Court of First Instance, which suspended the effectiveness of the resolutions adopted by the Grand Lodge on 4 April 2025. Those are, of course, the resolutions that revoked and annulled the 2024 elections and called new ones (the very elections that were supposed to take place on 1 February last and were instead blocked).
Specifically, this remarkable Extraordinary Grand Lodge intends to “provide an authentic interpretation” and, consequently, to amend:
- Article 28 of the GOI Constitution;
- Article 209 quater of the GOI Regulations;
- Article 114 quater of the GOI Regulations;
- the Circular containing the rules to be applied during internal elections.
Once these amendments have been carried out, the same Extraordinary Grand Lodge will — once again — annul the 2024 elections and — once again — call new elections, thereby openly mocking the order issued by the Rome Court less than three weeks ago.In essence: a judge of the Italian Republic has ruled that the Grand Lodge lacked the authority to annul a regularly conducted election — and what does Stefano Bisi do, in coordination with his trusted counsel Avv. Raffaele D’Ottavio?
He convenes yet another Grand Lodge session in order to annul the elections won by Leo Taroni. All of this within the space of only five days. As a Councillor of the Order, I consider it my duty to inform the community of the Brethren.
We are no longer dealing merely with shamelessness: this constitutes genuinely subversive conduct, in open conflict with the laws and the judicial order of the Italian State. It is a game of Russian roulette in which everything is staked on fate, because there is nothing left to lose — or perhaps everything.
It is likely that the 554 “lackey” Worshipful Masters who signed the form prepared by Avv. Raffaele D’Ottavio to request the convening of the Extraordinary Grand Lodge, together with all the Worshipful Masters who, in Rimini, will stage this pantomime, have not yet realised that they are entangling themselves in a thicket from which they will emerge with broken bones. This much is certain.
This is all the more true when one considers that the illustrious 554 signed without consulting the Chambers, thereby assuming full responsibility — or rather, full arbitrariness — for their actions (quite apart from the negligible detail that they disregarded every Masonic teaching in the process).
To put it briefly: the attempt to amend the Constitution and the internal regulations of the GOI in order to render “lawful” what the judge has already provisionally suspended is nothing other than an evasive amendment of the statutes aimed at neutralising the effects of a judicial decision.
Such conduct constitutes both a civil wrong and a criminal offence. Reliable sources close to Leo Taroni — corroborated by the experience of Avv. Lorenzo Borrè — have already stated that any decision taken by the Extraordinary Grand Lodge in breach of the judicial ruling will be immediately challenged before the same XVI Civil Division of the Rome Court specialised in association law, with a view to having it declared null and void pursuant to law.
But that is not all — and here lies the truly remarkable aspect: All those who have promoted initiatives liable to cause significant harm in the civil sphere will be held accountable for mismanagement (mala gestio) and ordered to pay damages.
At the criminal level, such conduct falls within the offence of wilful failure to comply with a judicial order, as provided for by Article 388 of the Italian Criminal Code, which punishes fraudulent behaviour aimed at evading the enforcement of judicial measures with imprisonment of up to three years or a fine.
This is an offence prosecutable upon complaint (querela di parte); consequently, Leo Taroni may choose to pursue this avenue as well.Alternatively — and here too lies a noteworthy possibility — the same Judge Dr. Mazzaro could proceed of her own motion.
Why might she do so? Because it is reasonable to assume that Dr. Mazzaro will not take kindly to being openly defied by a Calabrian pettifogger, by a self-proclaimed “Grand Master” (together with his Council), and by 554 rank-and-file lackeys who carry out every instruction they receive like obedient labourers (or cannon fodder, depending on one’s perspective).
We shall see what happens. What is already clear is that, with this manoeuvre, Stefano Bisi and his associates have once again demonstrated how little regard they have either for their own supporters (whom they are dragging into the abyss along with them) or for the laws of the Italian Republic, which they swore and promised to observe scrupulously. A very sad state of affairs.
