This is what I get:

[ unknown] (2) Filippo V <filippo at bovonesas.it>
-------------------------
It seems that "all from the past" has already been revoked (by you,
hopefully).
I suggest that you generate a new key pair, with a good passphrase,
generate the corresponding revocation certificate (that you will store
in a secure place), and upload your new public key to a keyserver.
Good luck.
