Biography

De Mari was born in 1953 in Santa Maria Capua Vetere (Caserta, Italy).[11] She formerly worked as a surgeon in both Italy and Ethiopia, before setting up a private psychotherapy practice in Turin.[12]

L'ultimo Elfo (The Last Elf, published in the US as The Last Dragon) was her third children's book and the first to be translated into English. It has also been translated into French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and several other languages for a total of 23 countries[13] (Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Finland, France, Germany Hungary, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Netherlands, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Spain, Thailand, Taiwan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA).

The following book [L'Ultimo Orco] (The Last Ogre) won the IBBY International Boud Books Young People 2006 prize[14] and the Prix Sorcières "Les prix en littérature jeunesse" in 2009 in France.[15] It's been published in France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Lithuania, Macedonia, Panama, Romania Thailand, United Kingdom, USA.

Controversies

As of early 2017, after a claim made by some homosexual associations, De Mari has been convened before the Italian Medical Association for her statements regarding homosexuality (which she states "does not exist"),[16] homosexual associations (defined as "criminals")[17] and anal intercourse, defined by the President of the Order of Medical Doctors as not matching what Medicine thinks today.[18] She has been convicted twice for aggravated defamation against the LGBT+ community.[19]

She defined the APA "nonsensical",[17] she referred to gay bowel syndrome, a controversial term, and denied that homosexuality exists, saying, "Italian: C'è una sola sessualità e persone biologicamente perdenti che la rifiutano" (There is only one sexuality and biologically-loser people who refuse it).[20]

With regard to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders she also said:

The APA, American Psychiatric Association, rules the world using a statistical diagnostic manual without which you can not make an official diagnosis or expertise. The DSM (Diagnostic Statistical Manual) costs lots of money and has the same ethical and scientific value that had the various posters on race.[21]

In 2013, De Mari wrote an open letter to Pope Francis, urging him to defend persecuted Christians rather than pursue popularity.[22]

In 2021, the Turin Medical Association suspended her from carrying out professional activities involving interpersonal contacts, together with 94 other doctors and dentists, for refusing to undergo the Covid vaccination.[23]

Convictions for defamation of LGBT people

Silvana De Mari was convicted in two defamation cases before the Italian district court of Turin.[24] [25]

In the first case, charges were based on claims made by an LGBT Turin group along with the Human Rights Committee of Piedmont and the City of Turin, regarding statements of Dr. De Mari, where she pointed out anal sex is recurring in satanism,[26] homosexual associations to crimes and defined homosexuals as "new aryan race", and "idiots".[27] [17] Silvana De Mari was recognized guilty of defamation and sentenced to pay a fine of 1,500 euros in addition to a compensation of 5,000 euros for LGBT associations.[28]

The second case was motivated by a complaint of the Homosexual Association Mario Mieli, whose members were accused by Silvana De Mari of promoting pedophilia, necrophilia and coprophagia. This second case also ended with a conviction for defamation. Silvana De Mari paid a €1,500 fine plus €5,000 as a compensation to the injured association.[29]
