"Il Gioco del l'Ockheed": supplement to Linus magazine, no. 4. Milan: Milano Libri Edizioni (Rizzoli), 1976. Offset, 38 x 52 cm. Ref.: Ciompi/Seville 0339. The satirical magazine Linus presented images of America of a wholly unwelcome kind to Italians in 1976. This related to the Lockheed scandal, where the company was proven to have resorted to bribery in order to sell its planes. The rising influence of America was now feared, especially on the political left. The game was caustically labelled ”L’Ockheed,” being a pun on the Italian name for the goose, L’Oca. The Lockheed scandals encompassed a series of bribes and contributions made by officials of the U.S. aerospace company from the late 1950s to the 1970s in the process of negotiating the sale of aircraft to a number of countries, including Italy. The corruption reached high levels: there was even a suggestion that the Italian prime minister (identified only in Lockheed’s private company code as ”Antelope Cobbler”) would indicate how large the figure should be, though which of three possible prime ministers this might refer to was never ascertained. In any event, some two million US dollars was paid between 1969 and 1971. Those in receipt of this money were later brought to trial and convictions were obtained in several cases. In this game of 63 spaces, which bears the printed signature of the Italian cartoonist ”Chiappori” (b. 1943), the favorable spaces show a CIA agent, in a typical hat; however, they provide a free throw, rather than the throw doubling of a goose space. There are several Mafia spaces, which lead to the fatalistic space 38: “The Mafia is the same for everybody.” The equivalent of the bridge space at 6 is SIPRA, the advertising sales arm of Italy's government-owned TV and radio broadcaster, RAI Radiotelevisione italiana. It leads by an ironic leap to space 12 (Up with freedom of the press!). There are various oil companies, such as ANAS and ESSO, where you win 10 counters. Space 26 shows a kidnapping at gunpoint - pay the ransom and start again. Space 53 shows a coffin labelled Cassa del Mezzogiorno (literally ”Bank of the Southern Regions” but with the implication that you might end up in a different sort of safe deposit box), where you wait for rescue but pay a tax each turn. The spaces marked with an exclamation point symbolize ”the private offices of important political leaders”: pay half your store of counters. Among other hazards, there is a prison and a labyrinth, with the usual rules. The specifically American references are as follows. The Lockheed Company is shown at space 51 as providing a deluge of ”little brown envelopes,” symbolizing the bribes offered: go back to space 31 (Commission of Inquiry, shown with spades for digging out the truth). At space 52 is the Palazzo Barrachini, headquarters in Rome of the Italian Ministry of Defense: go back to space 47 (Embassy of the USA, showering dollar bills around). However, if you land on the embassy, you advance to space 61, the Quirinale, which houses the president of the Italian Republic. The game is a sardonic commentary on the major institutions of Italy. It is fitting, therefore, that the winning space at 63 brings the Premio delle Instituzioni [an institutional prize].
