Centro Italiano de Parapsicologia

The Centro Italiano di Parapsicologia (Italian Center for Parapsychology) was founded in 1960 in Naples, Italy, by Giorgio Di Simone, a French professor who teaches at the University of Naples. The center was opened to investigate life after death, especially through an examination of mediumship. Di Simone has monitored a number of mediumistic sessions at which a series of communications were received from what was termed "Dimension X."

The center held monthly meetings for those interested in parapsychology. Its several research projects surveyed people's opinions and experiences on psychic phenomenon. It published a journal, Informazioni Parapsicologia. Last known address: Via Belvedere, 87/80127, Naples, Italy.
