Peter Kolosimo

Peter Kolosimo, pseudonym of Pier Domenico Colosimo (1922-1984) was an Italian journalist and writer. Together with the later Erich von Däniken, he is ranked amongst the founders of pseudoarchaeology (in Italian: "fantarcheologia").

Born in Modena, he lived in Bolzano for much of his life. In 1969 he won the Premio Bancarella, one of Italy's most prestigious literary prizes, for "Non è terrestre" ("Not from Earth"). His books were translated in 60 countries, including Russia, Japan and China.

He was also coordinator of the Italian Association of Prehistorical Studies.

Kolosimo died in Milan in 1984.
