ROME - "We all treated this project like a son, because we talk about what was everyone's son, we took great care of it. It was important to tell this story for all the Italians who have suffered and for Franca Rampi", that in Vermicino she was "the mother of all".

This is explained by Anna Foglietta, the face of Alfredo Rampi's mother in "Alfredino - Una storia italiana", the Sky Original miniseries produced by Marco Belardi for Lotus Production, premiered in two events on 21 and 28 June on Sky Cinema and streaming on NOW.

The story, with a rigorous style that brings out the story and the characters, retraces the facts of Vermicino, but also looks beyond, with the construction of the Alfredo Rampi Center (born in 1981, by the will of Franca Rampi, a few weeks after the events for promote the prevention of environmental risk and an improvement in technical and psychological aid in emergencies, ed) and the foundations laid by Pertini for the birth of civil protection. Pontecorvo followed "a precise, ethical route in telling the story of Alfredo Rampi 40 years later, trying not to fall into melodrama and keeping pity and pain TV away - the filmmaker underlines at the press conference -. It was a choice. due to the protagonists of that story that belongs to Italy, which has become part of the DNA of all of us ".

In the extraordinary cast with Anna Foglietta there are Luca Angeletti in the role of Ferdinando, Alfredino's father (played by Kim Cherubini); Vinicio Marchioni (Nando Broglio, the fireman who remained for hours trying to motivate Alfredino); Francesco Acquaroli as the head of the fire brigade Elveno Pastorelli and Beniamino Marcone as his right arm Marco Faggioli; Giacomo Ferrara and Daniele La Leggia, who play two speleologists who tried to reach the child; Valentina Romani for the geologist Laura Bortolani; Massimo Dapporto for Sandro Pertini and Riccardo De Filippis in the part of Angelo Licheri, the "Angelo di Vermicino", the volunteer who, descending into the well, reached Alfredino but was unable to grasp him. "I know that Licheri - adds Pontecorvo - is experiencing a difficult condition (due to serious health and economic problems, ed), let's help him ".

In dealing with what is "an open wound" for the country, as the protagonists of the miniseries underline, "I did not want to see any of the archive images and I did not meet Mrs. Franca Rampi to respect the will of this woman, who has once again demonstrated great dignity in pain. I carry her inside and I believe that she has always held my hand - underlines Anna Foglietta -. I respect her infinitely, in those days she was the mother of Alfredo and of all, attentive, proactive, also available to all the people who were trying to help his son get out of that damned well. To react like this you need an extraordinary soul, energy, strength, preparation, empathy ". There are those who "did media looting", criticizing it, but "in those days she controlled her pain to bring out her most reactive side, like a lioness, always ready to defend never to attack. "For the actress it was" perhaps the most difficult role of her career. " fundamental "the support of Pontecorvo, of the whole cast and helped me during the shooting also to listen a lot to La cura di Battiato".

What "really convinced us to carry out the project - explains Antonella d'Errico, Executive Vice President Programming of Sky Italia - was the fact that this was Centro Rampi's fortieth anniversary and that the project was developed together with them. sheds a light not only on the tragedy, but on everything positive that was born after ". "Up to now, appointing Alfredino Rampi still leads Italians to fall into the well, into pain, anguish, anger, impotence for not having been able to save him - explains psychotherapist Rita di Iorio, president of the Alfredo Rampi Center -. Few they were able to work through this tragedy and to know that that death was not in vain. For the first time in 40 years we said yes to a project that retraced the facts, because we felt that there wasit was the will to tell in order to remember, but not focusing only on pain ".
