Matteo Salvini infuriates Luciano Ligabue and Stefano Accorsi .
The fault of an electoral commercial that mimics Letta's campaign, relaunches the violent audio of the former head of cabinet of the mayor of Rome Albino Ruberti using the famous passage from Accorsi's “secular creed” in the film Radiofreccia .
Domenico Procacci for Fandango, Luciano Ligabue and Stefano Accorsi, respectively producer, author and actor of the 1998 film, formally warned, through their lawyers, the "Lega per Salvini Premier" from the use of the audio track with Accorsi's voice, taken from Radiofreccia - they affirm in a note - " illegitimately " and inserted in an election video currently broadcast on all social media and taken up by the press.
The short film "that embarrasses the Democratic Party, based on a true story" (this is the title of the spot) begins with a young woman who looks at the computer and listens to the Accorsi song. Shortly after the screams are heard and the camera frames a video with the scoop of the sheet: it is Ruberti who shouts "you have to kneel ... I'll kill you, I swear I'll kill you ... I'll shoot you". The voiceover says "they have no mercy".
The next scene is a fake of the Democratic Party's election poster with the foreground of Enrico Letta on a red field "Kneeling or I'll shoot you" and on a blue field "Italy standing" with the symbol of the League. "Let's turn on the light after the darkness of the Democratic Party".
" The League used the secular creed of Radiofreccia for its electoral campaign, without asking for any authorization (which would not have been granted), and with grave disregard for the law on copyright ", reads the note.
In the warning Procacci, Ligabue and Accorsi "contested the very serious violation of their rights on the film and the unscrupulous use of the same in a presentation to the public that also clearly suggests an adherence to the content of the message, from which they radically dissociate themselves" . It is therefore ordered to remove "immediately" from the video any element taken from the film and reserves "the widest legal protection, both in civil and criminal matters".
