Life

Also known by the pseudonym Hans-Jürgen Nigra, he was for a long time the Paris correspondent for the Italian newspaper Il Tempo.[1][2] After graduating in law from the University of Rome, he moved to Paris in the mid-fifties. Here he came into contact with Alain de Benoist, with whom he created the ethnonationalist think-tank GRECE, also known as New Right. By this time he began to write for magazines like Éléments and Nouvelle École. He also collaborated with several magazines and newspapers including La Destra, L'Uomo Libero and Secolo d'Italia.

One of the leading exponents of New Right,[3][4][5] he broke away from it because he was averse to democracy and a supporter of Conservative Revolutionary movement values.[6]

He was the author of several books translated into French, German and Spanish. His works revolved around Roman Empire, anti-Americanism and Nietzsche's anti-Christian thought.

Among the best known of Locchi's workes is the Nietzsche, Wagner e il mito sovrumanista, which was counted among the classics of hermeneutic on Richard Wagner.[7]

His works influenced authors such as Guillaume Faye,[8] Pierre Vial, Pierre Krebs, Robert Steuckers and Stefano Vaj.[9]
