On the initiative of the creator of the event Maurizio Porcelli, Felice Manti, writer and great expert on the Erba massacre, will arrive at Palazzo Tirso on Saturday 11 May at 5pm , one of the crime stories that has kept millions of Italians glued to the TV.
Columnist for Il Giornale di Milano directed by Alessandro Sallusti, interviewed by the lawyer Ivano Iai, civil party lawyer of one of the protagonists, will present the book "Olindo e Rosa", the second best seller of the cycle dedicated to the Lombard couple, convicted of multiple murders of the Castagna family , after "The Great Error", a work that contributed to laying the foundations for the request for review of the trial.
The preface of the volume, published this year by Algama, is edited by the deputy general prosecutor of Milan Cuno Tarfusser, who managed to obtain the start of the process to evaluate the possible revision of the trial which for now sees two condemned men before a mountain of doubts still unresolved.
What really happened in Erba on 11 December 2006? The journalists Felice Manti and Edoardo Montolli wrote the counter-investigation “The great blunder. Two innocent people facing life imprisonment?” ending up overwhelmed by controversy for having claimed that Olindo Romano and Rosa Bazzi were not involved in the massacre in which four people lost their lives . Today that the case has been reopened, the two reporters tell the background of the trials that led the couple to life imprisonment, revealing all the details of the new evidence that exonerates the spouses. And they try to reconstruct what happened on the evening of the massacre, "when the most atrocious criminal enterprise in the history of the Republic was committed - as Como prosecutor Massimo Astori said in the courtroom".
«The further I read The Great Blunder - we read in Judge Tarfusser's preface - the more anguish became apparent in me at the mere thought that, if what I was reading was true, two innocent people have been in prison since January 2007 ».
