His father, Enzo Tortura, had been arrested in 1983, the previous year. She was emotionally trembling but clear in thought. I remember hiking around Rai’s residence in Viale Mazzini where he couldn’t talk about anything else: but you know, they came to pick him up at four in the morning…They sentenced him to ten years in prison, my father is a decent and innocent man.

There was a meeting for hours and hours in Montefushi’s lovely house to discuss whether Minoli should appear on the show in shirt-sleeves or in a jacket and tie, we smiled with Sylvia, unable to understand the importance of appearance on TV.
