Oberto Airaudi (29 May 1950 – 24 June 2013), also commonly known as "Falco Tarassaco", was an Italian new age alchemist, artist, philosopher, author, healer, and the spiritual guide and founder of Damanhur, federation of self-sustaining spiritual communities located primarily in Vidracco, Italy. Airaudi went by the name of Falco Tarassaco (the Italian translation of Hawk Dandelion), based on the Damanurian practice of adopting animal and plant names, which he inspired.
