No, it's Savinio, as you can see from all other Wikipedias, including the italian and the greek one. And maybe have a look at the
Library of Congress' online catalog:
[1] - 81 matches for Savinio, Alberto, but not one match for Savino, Alberto. --

Well, things like this may happen, if one relies on the internet. Serious publications - like the Lexikon der Kunst and others, for example a reading list from a German University - spell his name Savino (See
Bohn, Willard, see also
[2]), and for my part I think these sources are more reliable than more or less dubious webpages.--

Ahm, referring to the world's most prestigious libraries is not exactly relying on the internet, even if they put their catalogs online—instead, picking out just one reading list of just one lecture at just one university is, because this is very likely a typo. I have some of Savinio's works on my bookshelf, so I can be pretty sure on this. However, my bookshelf does not seem to count as a proof here, so let's see what is on other people's bookshelfs:
Well, I think things are as clear as they can be. And I think I have contributed enough proofs to show the name is spelled “Savinio”. If you think these sources are “more or less dubious”, you should ask yourself where Wikipedia has its bad reputation as a “more or less dubious” source from. Obviously, you don't know that writer/artist/musician well enough to write even a stub about him. Despite of that, you renamed the page. And you insist to know exactly how the name has to be spelled, although you don't have even the slightest proof for your point. --
