Thanks to a woman, a mother gave us the strength to build something useful for everyone. The attempt is to redeem the family from all the pain experienced. "
A project that has received the approval of the family.
In four episodes directed by Marco Pontecorvo (Nero a mezzo, Ragion di Stato, L'oro di Scampia), Alfredino - an Italian story tells the story of little Alfredo Rampi, who fell into an artesian well in 1981.

"The idea is to tell not only the story of what happened but also what followed after, explains Nicola Maccanico, Executive Vice President Programming Sky Italy".
For Nils Hartman senior Director Original Productions Sky Italia is a historical reconstruction in the smallest detail to reproduce that moment of truth.
A tragedy that transformed the way of reporting, with a very long live broadcast and the arrival of the President of the Republic Sandro Pertini.
