Wu Ming (extended name: Wu Ming Foundation) is a band of authors based in Italy. At present, the members are three, respectively known as "Wu Ming 1", "Wu Ming 2" and "Wu Ming 4". "Wu Ming" means "anonymous" in Chinese. Although their real names are not secret, the three authors never use them in public.
In different phases of their career the band was a quintet and a quartet. One member, Luca Di Meo aka Wu Ming 3, passed away in 2023. Another one, Riccardo Pedrini aka Wu Ming 5, left the band in 2015.
Wu Ming signed their debut novel Q with another pen name: Luther Blissett.

Quotes by Wu Ming (?)

“Però, vedete, se voi desiderate prendere una lepre, che le diate la caccia con i cani o col falco, a piedi o a cavallo, resterà sempre una lepre. La libertà, invece, non rimane mai la stessa, cambia a seconda della caccia. E se addestrate dei cani a catturarla per voi, è facile che vi riportino una libertà da cani.”
― Wu Ming, Altai

“Dice Yggdrasil: l’Imperatore ha messo da parte tanta carta come non s’è mai vista, una montagna, che a mettere i fogli uno sopra l’altro si può raggiungere la luna, eppure tutti quei fogli non gli serviranno, ora che i boschi sono stati abbattuti. Nemmeno i menestrelli, i letterati e i cantastorie possono farci nulla, perché di storie da ricopiare nella grafia degli amanuensi, leggende di dèi ed eroi, favole antiche e recenti, di tutto questo non è rimasto nulla, nè ricordo, né memoria, né origine.”
― Wu Ming, Anatra all'arancia meccanica. Racconti 2000-2010
