Massimo Santoro Tubito

The books are also known because he refers to himself as which means "Altiliens or Altamuran", denoting that he was from the Apulian city of Altamura. Altiliensis refers to the legends about the founding of the city of Altamura, whose ancient name is believed to have been Altilia.

The toponym Altilia lacks historical evidence, and most scholars - such as Ottavio Serena - tend to reject it. According to other historians, such as Tommaso Berloco (1985), there isn't enough evidence either to dismiss the toponym or to prove it.

Life Massimo Santoro Tubito was born in Altamura on December 1660. His father was Angelo Tubito, while his mother was Angela Perillo. Both the death date and the death place are unknown.

He was member of the so-called Accademia degli Spensierati.

In media Cesare Orlandi (1734-1779) cites Santoro Tubito in the first volume of his work. Massimo Santoro Tubito and his book De Antichristo are cited in Carlo Animato's book Roma kaputt mundi (2012).
