"My parents? They are the people who have loved me the most, the people who have always helped and supported me. They have always loved me »: Alberto Picci spoke thus of his father Giuseppe and his mother Maria Giovanna. The same people he attacked in an outbreak of violence that still has no explanation. In essence, Picci said he hit his father with a spear gun, but he can't say why. His statements were collected in the immediacy of the facts and therefore have a relative value. The data that emerges is the very strong gap between Picci's statements referring to the relationship with his parents, who appear to be sincere, and his brutal behavior. According to rumors, in the house of La Scalitta, in Santa Maria Coghinas , after his return from Milan, other episodes of violence would have occurred, which Picci's parents would not have reported. In short, a story that has matured over time, which, however, no one could have stopped. In short, for victims perhaps we can speak of an announced aggression.

Miracle in the hospital - Picci in prison keeps asking how his parents are. His father Giuseppe, 68 years old from Cagliari, underwent a very delicate surgery which was successfully completed. The specialists of the Santissima Annunziata hospital in Sassari managed to extract the harpoon that was stuck deep in the victim's skull. An operation that could be decisive for Giuseppe Picci's survival, the doctors, however, are cautious and the prognosis remains confidential. Alberto Picci's mother, on the other hand, is better off and could be declared taken out of danger.

Alberto Picci, however, may also need medical attention. His outburst appears incomprehensible, except as the result of a psychiatric pathology. An explanation of the facts, of course, still to be demonstrated. For now, however, there are no legal medical consultations on Picci's psycho-physical condition. The Carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Sassari and colleagues from Valledoria are reconstructing the last months of Picci's life. There is talk of a series of alleged failures at work and problems in reaching his partner and a son who (the circumstance is to be verified) would be in South America.

The investigations - The prosecutor Angelo Beccu disputes the attempted murder with the aggravating circumstances of the handicapped defense, cohabitation relationship and family relationship. The Sassari Public Prosecutor's Office assessed the timing of the Carabinieri's intervention, about twenty minutes, to be absolutely congruous and adequate. The dramatic phone call from Picci's mother was acquired, the recording of the phone call with which the woman asks for help from the Carabinieri.
