synopsis
Eight double murders.
Seventeen years of terror.
Always the same weapon.
A .22 caliber Beretta.
One of the longest and most complex Italian investigations into the first and most brutal serial killer in the country’s history: The Monster of Florence. This story is based on ongoing legal proceedings and investigations. In a story where there have been many possible monsters, over time and investigations, our story focuses on them, the possible monsters, from their point of view.
Because the monster, in the end, could be anyone.
director's statement
The horror. Approaching the story of the Monster of Florence is not simply a matter of research, writing, or staging: it is a direct confrontation with horror. Choosing to tell this story means deciding to descend into a territory where evil no longer wears masks, and in attempting to represent it, you realise that words and images risk hurting, betraying, or adding more pain to that already inflicted. Every detail, every reconstruction, every imagined dialogue weighs like lead. The constant feeling that there is something missing. You sense the danger of slipping into morbid fascination, of turning pain into entertainment, and, on the other hand, the temptation to soften the horror to make it more bearable. But horror, in order to be truly portrayed, must be traversed. Not avoided. Because telling a story with honesty, with respect, with rigor must still mean something. Perhaps not to resolve, not to understand, but to remember. A way to stand beside those who remained there, forever in the night, and say: you have not been forgotten.
