Corrado Formigli Launches Investigative Program ‘100 Minutes’ on La7: Exploring the Dark World of Mafias and Criminal Groups

For once, a certain emphasis on promoting a new program, and presenting it by claiming diversity, was not just a bizarre media obligation. Corrado Formigli a lot was spent on the eve of the departure of 100 minutes — La7, on Monday evening. Speaking of a sort of exit from the long, and interminable, tunnel of hasty and emotional talk shows in favor of a transition to what he defined as investigative films.

The result at the start looks a lot like the good intention: especially in the film part, and thanks to those who carry out the investigations for the programme, i.e. Alberto Nerazzini. Who moves on stage without jumping at the throat of his prey, but with an intense and implacable pace that recalls, a risky but not too much comparison, that of private detectives in films or TV series, of distant Marlowian origin – it is exaggerated, but it is for give meaning.

Rome, an open city was the title of the first investigation, and it was immediately understood that by open we mean riddled: by transversal and powerful mafias, by the widespread control of increasingly sophisticated and brutal criminal groups when necessary. All with the murder of as the central point – and with very striking shots Fabrizio Piscitelli, called Diabolik. In the studio, with brief interlocutions, there were both Formigli and Nerazzini, who hosted the finale Nicola Gratteri and there was talk of how the looming gag laws threaten, according to the thesis, precisely investigations of this type. For Formigli, a program like this contrasts, as mentioned, with talk shows: but there is a strong impression that the opponent is also Reportopposing their assault teams with a method with the journalist alone, implacable in reconstructing: and in contacting even the most shuddering interlocutors with lucid firmness and, as far as possible, without discounts.

Not a bad occasion was Nerazzini’s visit to the office of a much talked about figure in the high circles of the intertwined mafias. The man receives him, a couple of collaborators next to him, in front of a computer. And next to the computer a machine gun, loaded.
