===Early life=== Guy Debord was born in [[Paris, France|Paris]] in 1931. Debord's father, Martial, was a pharmacist who died when Debord was young. Debord's mother, Paulette Rossi, sent Debord to live with his grandmother in her family [[villa]] in Italy. During [[World War II]], the Rossis left the villa and began to travel from town to town. As a result, Debord attended high school in [[Cannes]], where he began his interest in film and vandalism.<ref>Bourseiller, Christophe. "Vie et Mort de Guy Debord".
