That fiction doesn't have to be done: two years after the projects announced and four after the tragedy of the hotel in Farindola (January 18, 2017), the two ideas put in place with lots of written scripts are still unable to see the light and optional rights and who knows if they will be realized.
To shoot fiction on Rigopiano both Pietro Valsecchi with Taodue and Roberto Sessa with Picomedia became available.
The enormous media impact and the tragic spectacular nature of the story had stimulated cinematic hypotheses well beyond the making of documentaries with real materials, as was done by Michele Santoro for the public service.
"We wanted to shoot based on the point of view of a survivor, Parete, and with his book as a platform, but when we realized the delicacy of the ongoing judicial process we stopped - says Sessa -.
We had optioned the rights of the book, but we have not exercised them. Too much fear around, among the interlocutors ".
If the problem is the investigation and the judicial truth of the facts, then we will have to wait a long time: the process resumes on March 5 and only from this date will it be able to enter the trial phase.
In turn, the realization of the Valsecchi fiction seemed very close, so much so that he had met several times with the families of the victims, "with whom there was also a heated debate".
He had also prepared a screenplay, but "the initial obstacle of the family members was hard to overcome.
Someone thought it was a looting - explains Valsecchi - and I understand their point of view. I was thinking of a film of civil denunciation, aware of the commitment remarkable organizational structure that we were going to meet. But if the conditions are not right, better do nothing. But the script is there, it was well done: who knows if tomorrow it won't be resumed, maybe we can rethink it ".
