Fo's son blasts celebration of father

(ANSA) - Milan, October 14 - Dario Fo's son Jacopo has blasted many people who paid tribute to his Nobel-prize winning father after his death on Thursday for hypocrisy.
    "Yes, now everyone celebrates Dario," Jacopo said on his Facebook page. "After a lifetime in which they did everything to censor him and strike him an every way. F**k off," he added, possibly referring to his father's limited exposure on Italian television.
    Fo, who passed away in a Milan hospital aged 90, was an outspoken critic of Italy's political and religious life and was despised by many figures in the establishment.
    Jacopo Fo congratulated Renato Brunetta, the Lower House whip for Silvio Berlusconi's opposition centre-left Forza Italia party, for breaking conventions about speaking ill of the death.
    "Honour to Brunetta, who said he did not like my father," he said.
    Fo's body will lie in State at Milan's Piccolo Teatro Strehler theatre Friday and Saturday, when a non-religious ceremony will be held in Milan's central Piazza Duomo.
