Pino Rinaldi ripercorre la storia del serial killer Antonio Mantovani, dagli efferati omicidi alle indagini che hanno portato al suo arresto.
Antonio Mantovani (1957-2003), noto come il "mostro di Milano", è stato un serial killer italiano condannato all'ergastolo per l'omicidio di due donne nel 1997, dopo aver già scontato una pena per un altro omicidio nel 1983. In regime di semilibertà, uccideva strangolando le sue vittime, spesso conoscenti, dopo averle molestate sessualmente. Si è suicidato in carcere a Saluzzo nel 2003.

00:00:00The first story we're going to tell this evening is set in Milan in the mid-90s.
00:00:08Milan is a city with a thousand faces, a city that however, in those very years, witnesses with fear a series of
00:00:16of crimes that make her feel helpless.
00:00:20What we are going to tell is a true horror tale.
00:00:26It's a gloomy November in Milan, 1996. On the 6th of that month, a macabre discovery is made.
00:00:45Meanwhile, another woman was killed in Milan. Her body was found in the trunk of a car.
00:00:51A tight belt is around the neck. The body is in the trunk of a small car parked on a large avenue.
00:00:57Milan, in an Orion market.
00:00:58One morning in Viale Monza, in one of the busiest municipal markets in Milan, there is this machine
00:01:04that obstructs traffic.
00:01:08The police arrive, try to move it and discover that there is something in the trunk.
00:01:15The body of another semi-free prisoner, Dora Vendola, is found.
00:01:28I was present at the inspection when they found Dora Vendola's body in the trunk of a Panda on Viale Monza.
00:01:40Strangled with a backpack strap. So, it's a murder committed with force, not the knife.
00:01:48it's not the gun.
00:01:50Strangled with a backpack strap.
00:01:52The body was in an advanced stage of putrefaction. It had been there for days.
00:02:03This evening we will retrace a series of crimes, starting with this one.
00:02:09Some crimes have found an answer and others are still looking for it.
00:02:16And we will do it with Dr. Pamela Franconieri who is the head of the UDI, the Unsolved Crimes Unit,
00:02:23It is a special team of the State Police, specifically charged with re-reading past cases.
00:02:30Dr. Franconieri, good evening and welcome to Detective.
00:02:33So, let's start with this woman who was found in Viale Monza, Milan, on November 6, 1996.
00:02:41Who was he?
00:02:43Dora Vendola is a 38-year-old woman, detained in the Opera prison, under semi-liberty at that time.
00:02:49The first lead they pursue is that of a settling of scores within Milan's organized crime.
00:02:55Why? What did this woman have to do with organized crime?
00:02:59She was linked to some individuals who could be traced back to the Sacra Corona Unita.
00:03:05So this death is immediately interpreted as a sort of settling of scores?
00:03:11Well, the body is found inside this car in an Orion market,
00:03:16so in a very busy place and therefore one thinks of a settling of scores.
00:03:20What kind of investigations are being conducted? Are you checking out this lead?
00:03:24Investigators are thoroughly combing the Milanese organised crime scene,
00:03:29the clandestine gambling dens, the world linked to usury and basically they listen to people
00:03:36who have a relationship with this woman, which is precisely the semi-freedom regime,
00:03:41and they also carry out an analysis with respect to the semi-free inmates of the Opera prison.
00:03:48Like her?
00:03:48Like her, exactly.
00:03:50That is, prisoners who are incarcerated, who are serving a sentence,
00:03:53but who can go out to work and then return to prison.
00:03:57Is this a thorough investigation that is being done, and what does this type of investigation reveal?
00:04:05A name comes out that investigators are paying attention to at that moment, the name of Antonio Mantovani.
00:04:14Why Antonio Mantovani?
00:04:15Antonio Mantovani is detained in the Opera prison,
00:04:19during that period he was granted semi-liberty, therefore he was able to leave prison,
00:04:25and is convicted of a very serious crime, murder.
00:04:31Murder of a woman with more or less the same characteristics as the modus operandi
00:04:37with respect to the discovery of Dora Mendola.
00:04:40So, Dr. Franco Nieri, let's stop for a second,
00:04:43because we need to take a leap back in time.
00:04:48Exactly what had happened, 13 years earlier, in a peripheral neighborhood of Milan.
00:04:57On February 11, 1983, Carla Zacchi, alone at home, was convinced to run out by Antonio Mantovani,
00:05:04a friend of the husband.
00:05:13On the evening of February 11, 1983, Antonio Mantovani showed up at a friend's house
00:05:19which is linked to a person he also knows.
00:05:22This is Carla Zacchi.
00:05:24Antonio Mantovani is out with friends, including Carla Zacchi's husband.
00:05:31He says, no, I'm not staying with you tonight, they have to go to a bar, I'm going home, I'm leaving.
00:05:35In reality he goes to Carla Zacchi's house, who knows that she is alone, because her husband is out with
00:05:41the others.
00:05:41She is 26 years old like him, he knows her, so much so that she opens the door of her house without fear.
00:05:47Nothing.
00:05:49The intercom was even found to be disconnected, so she had opened the door without even picking up the receiver.
00:05:55She says her husband had an accident, there's an emergency, the woman even leaves food cooking
00:06:03in the kitchen,
00:06:05he rushes out, practically gets into Mantovani's car, who after a while attacks him.
00:06:16The fact is that she is overwhelmed, she is overwhelmed and she is strangled.
00:06:25The woman's naked body will rise from the waters of the Villoresi canal in Monza,
00:06:32obviously dead, strangled with a sweater that the same corpse still wears around its neck.
00:06:55When on that Friday evening of February 11, 1983, the young Carla Zacchi let her son into her house
00:07:05her husband's friend, could not know that he had actually opened the door to her murderer.
00:07:13A horrible death for Carla, attacked, strangled and thrown into a canal.
00:07:23Dr. Franconieri, when you reread the documents, what reconstruction emerges?
00:07:29One crucial thing, right from the start: Antonio Mantovani knew the victim.
00:07:36He was hanging around her, he was interested in her, he liked her. That evening he convinced her to leave the house.
00:07:45because she knows that her husband, who is her friend, is not at home and will soon return, under false pretenses.
00:07:53The woman goes out, they go out together, at some point she probably attempts a sexual approach
00:08:00who is rejected and beats her, beats her on the face, so much so that they are found on her
00:08:08marks on the mouth and eyes of the bruise because he tries a desperate defense.
00:08:15She is then overpowered and strangled.
00:08:19How did they come to Antonio Mantovani?
00:08:23Suspicion soon fell on him because he knew the victim,
00:08:32that evening he was not with his circle of friends and the woman's husband sees him the next day
00:08:40with some peculiar signs. He has a swollen hand, scratches on his arms, and scratches on his face.
00:08:48and attributes, justifies, these signs of his to an accident that the investigators will then verify
00:08:55which has never happened. And he's also acting very strange, he's anxious, he's uncomfortable.
00:09:02Were the husband's suspicions alone enough to direct the investigation towards him?
00:09:07The husband's suspicion is a lead that is pursued immediately.
00:09:13Mantovani has no alibi for that night, between Friday and Saturday of that February.
00:09:20He can't give an explanation of what he did or any witnesses who saw him in another
00:09:26place.
00:09:27Furthermore, during the search a blood-stained jacket was found.
00:09:33and it is reconstructed that he then also tried to take him to the dry cleaners.
00:09:38Everything leads to Mantovani, so much so that a few days later, on February 15th,
00:09:44an arrest warrant is issued against him on suspicion of a crime.
00:09:48He claims to be innocent, but the trial won't have many twists and turns.
00:09:52The verdict came on December 5, 1985.
00:09:56Man found guilty of murdering Carla Zacchi
00:10:01and sentenced to 29 years and two months in prison.
00:10:04Mantovani was 28 years old at the time and was sent to prison for work.
00:10:09But for him, an opportunity arises.
00:10:17After the first conviction, Mantovani's lawyer appeals
00:10:22trying to play the semi-infirmity card.
00:10:26Antonio Mantovani then underwent an expert assessment by Professor Ponti.
00:10:31This report certifies that Mantovani had a strong personality disorder
00:10:37characterized by psychopathy and a very strong explosiveness.
00:10:44And even the test I administered revealed this truly impressive level of aggression.
00:10:54The inability to even grasp the rejection of others, the inability to engage in habitual courtship.
00:11:03Well, this inability was also part of his inability to hear the needs of others.
00:11:10He was deemed capable of understanding and willing which is a different criterion from being able to say that he had
00:11:20disorders.
00:11:21Because he must have had some disturbed characteristics, given what he did.
00:11:33During the appeal trial for the murder of Carla Zacchi, Mantovani was subjected to psychiatric evaluations.
00:11:43The result speaks of a personality characterized by the risk of outbursts of aggression, even uncontrolled,
00:11:53and uncontrollable. Professor Giannini helps us understand better.
00:11:59Here we are talking about a character characterized by lucidity, by an apparently very controlled way of doing things,
00:12:07but with a very strong inability to control the instinctive part, the emotional part.
00:12:14It should be added that he has been described as unable to read other people's emotions.
00:12:20It refers to courtship, therefore to what the other person feels.
00:12:24And this adds to a fundamental element.
00:12:26A person with a very high level of aggression, unable to read, understand and feel the emotions of others,
00:12:33he can do anything.
00:12:34Thank you, Professor Giannini.
00:12:37So, a theme that is repeatedly invoked by the defense to obtain a reduction in the sentence
00:12:43it is that of the inability to understand and want.
00:12:50Dr. Pisano, can you help us understand better?
00:12:54Of course, it is a theme that is even invoked not only for the reduction, but even to completely exclude the penalty.
00:13:01It is a very complex topic because legal, psychiatric, and psychopathological aspects intersect.
00:13:12According to the law, anyone who is incapable of understanding and willing at the time of committing the crime is
00:13:20he had no ability to understand what he was doing and to want what he was doing,
00:13:29in this specific case, a homicide.
00:13:32According to the psychiatrist, however, obviously psychological pathology is a profile, we have heard,
00:13:41which strongly disturbs the subject, but where is there no coincidence?
00:13:46There is no coincidence because according to the magistrate he can be considered a subject fully capable of understanding and willing.
00:13:57even a subject who presents, as in the case of Mantovani, serious psychopathologies.
00:14:04So much so that in the first instance trial the defence asked for a psychiatric assessment to be carried out.
00:14:11and the judges even decided not to do it and sentenced Mantovani to 29 years.
00:14:18Thank you, Dr. Pisano.
00:14:20So, in the end Antonio Mantovani was also found guilty on appeal.
00:14:26In the eyes of justice, he is capable of understanding and willing and is socially dangerous.
00:14:33Antonio Mantovani, the brutal protagonist of the murder of Zacchi, his friend's wife,
00:14:40So he remains in prison. He's not crazy, as he wanted us to believe.
00:14:46Thus we began to reveal a complex personality, a character with a thousand facets.
00:14:54But now let's get to know him better and discover his past.
00:15:03Antonio Mantovani is originally from Trevenzuolo, a small village in the province of Verona.
00:15:09He has a sad story behind him because he has an alcoholic father who leaves the family very early.
00:15:15He himself will be abandoned by his mother in a boarding school.
00:15:18He went to school with his mother, had been to boarding school, and showed absolute restlessness.
00:15:24He practically hadn't even finished middle school.
00:15:27He is what you would call a very difficult boy in a rather decadent family context.
00:15:32He has an average intelligence, but at the age of 14 he commits his first crime,
00:15:39sexual assault on a 3-year-old girl.
00:15:45We have a certain aggression on his part towards a little girl of a few years old
00:15:50and then a subsequent one when he is already of age with an extremely aggressive approach
00:15:55and attempted rape against another girl.
00:15:58In both these cases, however, Mantovani was not tried.
00:16:06For the first two crimes, the first committed when he was 14 years old and the second when he was just 18,
00:16:14Mantovani is not tried.
00:16:17Dr. Pisano, why does this happen?
00:16:21This can also lead to some disappointment,
00:16:27but Italian law is entirely inspired by re-education
00:16:33especially of this delinquent category which is called young adults.
00:16:40For the first crime he had just turned 14, so in reality he is being tried,
00:16:47however he is considered not punishable because he is immature.
00:16:51We remind you that under Italian law, at 14 years of age you can also be prosecuted.
00:16:56The most peculiar thing is that it is considered for the second crime instead
00:17:03mentally ill, therefore unable to understand what he was doing.
00:17:09Thank you, Dr. Pisano.
00:17:12So, a young man who was problematic to say the least, Antonio Mantovani,
00:17:19but to fully understand who we are talking about,
00:17:23But we need to find out what kind of social fabric someone with a past like that fits into.
00:17:31At the end of the 70s, he moved to Milan, to a very, very particular Milan.
00:17:45Having landed in Milan from the province, or rather in its hinterland,
00:17:49because it is divided between Sesto San Giovanni and other locations on the outskirts of Milan,
00:17:54Mantovani is a person who evidently cannot find his place either socially or professionally.
00:18:01From Sesto San Giovanni you reach Parco L'Ambro, which was the free territory of Milanese heroin.
00:18:08There was this hill called Thailand, where even the police couldn't enter.
00:18:14I remember raids where in the end the police and carabinieri had to retreat,
00:18:20because everything came down from Thailand.
00:18:23In this criminal context of Parco L'Ambro, therefore between crime and open-air drug dealing,
00:18:31Antonio Mantovani arrives and right here at the Park he comes into contact with the world of drug addiction.
00:18:38Not only does he use it, but above all he is certified as a cocaine addict,
00:18:42but he also begins to frequent the entire criminal world related to the sale and consumption of drugs.
00:18:53Right here he meets a young girl of Roma ethnicity,
00:18:59with which he simulates a robbery to the detriment of her family.
00:19:10In Milan, Antonio Mantovani found himself immersed in a world of drugs, drug dealing, and robberies.
00:19:16He used drugs and more.
00:19:20We are in the reality of Parco L'Ambro in the 70s and 80s.
00:19:26Professor Antinori, when Antonio Mantovani encounters this reality,
00:19:31How does it affect you as a person?
00:19:34The encounter between his individual experience and the petty criminal environment described
00:19:40it does nothing but multiply its own criminal perspective
00:19:44also thanks to its ability to manipulate, to structure relationships and to position itself as a dominant subject.
00:19:50So let's say a subject who can provide significant guarantees at a criminal level
00:19:56putting it in contact, interconnecting it with diverse criminal worlds.
00:20:03And this makes it a real bomb ready to explode.
00:20:08A bomb ready to explode.
00:20:11This is Antonio Mantovani.
00:20:13We'll see you again right after the commercials.
00:20:18We are talking about another era in which the conquest of semi-freedom of prison benefits
00:20:23it was rightly considered an instrument of civilization
00:20:27and were therefore given out quite generously.
00:20:30A width that would be unthinkable today.
00:20:38Welcome back to Detective.
00:20:40We are telling the story of Antonio Mantovani
00:20:43a tough guy convicted of the 1983 murder of a woman.
00:20:50He claims his innocence but is convicted.
00:20:53While he is serving a severe sentence of 29 years for that murder
00:20:59In 1996, 13 years later, a woman was killed.
00:21:05Her name is Dora Bendola.
00:21:07Investigators suspect him because of his criminal record.
00:21:11and because it seems he knew this woman.
00:21:16But wasn't Antonio Mantovani supposed to be in his cell in the Opera prison?
00:21:22This story is sadly destined to surprise us.
00:21:33He was transferred to the Opera prison near Milan
00:21:36and for about ten years he proved to be a model prisoner.
00:21:41He asks for semi-liberty twice, the first time he is denied
00:21:46and in 1996 an expert report by Professor Martelli,
00:21:52as provided for by our legal system, it grants him semi-liberty.
00:21:57We are talking about another era in which the conquest of semi-freedom
00:22:02prison benefits were rightly considered an instrument of civilization
00:22:06and were therefore given out with a certain generosity,
00:22:10a width that would be unthinkable today.
00:22:15I believe that the experts who were called to re-examine Mantovani's dangerousness
00:22:22have acted absolutely according to science and conscience
00:22:27and have acknowledged that time has passed
00:22:30and that there had been a progressive path of Mantovani
00:22:35which had been well presented as awareness raising
00:22:40even of one's own limits, of one's own critical issues.
00:22:42For example, he had first admitted to being responsible for the murder
00:22:47of the murder of Carlo Azzacchi, something he had denied until then.
00:22:57During the execution of the sentence Mantovani is therefore able to adapt
00:23:02to the prison situation, he admits responsibility for example for the Azzacchi crime.
00:23:09In short, he shows himself to be a man who has worked on himself, a changed man.
00:23:15Mantovani thus obtains semi-liberty.
00:23:19So ratings on Mantovani continue to change.
00:23:25Professor Giannini, how is all this possible?
00:23:28All the ingredients seemed to be there because he also admits some responsibilities.
00:23:33and this is one of the main elements when talking about reviewing the crime committed.
00:23:39So he was probably extremely convincing.
00:23:42It must be said that in such difficult cases and with such weighty assessments the risk of relapse is very high.
00:23:50And so I believe it is also important to refine research on this topic.
00:23:55That is, how can we increasingly develop better and more effective tools capable of capturing these aspects,
00:24:01also of ambiguity and ambivalence because we said that these are people with some very lucid parts,
00:24:07convincing, manipulative and therefore they manage to be particularly convincing
00:24:13when they want to show themselves in a certain way.
00:24:17Mantovani is considered a highly dangerous individual from a social point of view.
00:24:23Then, according to subsequent expert reports, the judges' assessment changes and he is even granted semi-liberty.
00:24:35Doctor Pisano makes me understand.
00:24:40Every historical period is characterized by laws that are ugly political choices, right or wrong, it is not up to me
00:24:49judge.
00:24:49In the 70s we have a series of laws that, partly to enhance this purpose of punishment
00:24:59which in our legal system must aim at the re-education of the convicted,
00:25:03a little, let's be honest, to empty the prisons at least during the day,
00:25:11It issues a whole series of rules that allow for a series of measures.
00:25:15It may seem crazy, but the measure of semi-liberty is not only granted to the Gastolano,
00:25:24but it is even granted to the same people who have committed crimes
00:25:30and who have been declared incapable of understanding and wanting to be socially dangerous.
00:25:35It's a contradiction because they are people who are likely to commit new crimes,
00:25:41but who are allowed to stay out of prison.
00:25:45Be careful though, this thing that has been admitted in the Italian legal system
00:25:50is considered by the European Court of Human Rights to be so serious
00:25:56that in a similar case, which is the Izzo case, the must of Circeo, you will all remember it,
00:26:02everyone remembers it, the Italian state was sanctioned for this reason,
00:26:07because it was believed that it is not possible to evaluate only the re-educational purpose of the sentence,
00:26:13but the first thing to evaluate is human rights.
00:26:17In the case of the Circeo must, even when Izzo left,
00:26:20two women were killed, one of whom was only 14 years old.
00:26:27Mantovani has been on semi-liberty since September 1996.
00:26:36Dr. Franconieri, what happened in September of that year?
00:26:44Antonio Mantovani can leave prison during the day, he can go to work,
00:26:52he has prescriptions, he has to go to eat in a certain place,
00:26:56he has to return to prison at a certain time and he has to sleep in prison.
00:27:00During the time he is away, he works and also has the opportunity to have social relationships,
00:27:08because he also has free time.
00:27:09Mantovani, how are you coping with this new situation?
00:27:12She has a job at a social cooperative where she does computer data entry.
00:27:18He had successfully completed a training course in prison, so it was a job he could do.
00:27:26Obviously he has to return to the penitentiary institution by a certain time in the evening.
00:27:32Mantovani has been on semi-liberty for two months, in November 1996.
00:27:38Do you remember how we started this story?
00:27:41With a murdered woman's body found in the trunk of his red Panda,
00:27:47precisely on November 6, 1996.
00:27:53Dr. Franconieri, was Doravendola also under semi-liberty?
00:28:01Yes, Doravendola was in semi-liberty.
00:28:04He could get out of prison and he could meet people.
00:28:07There is a suspect in Mantovani for that murder, but at the moment the investigators are unable to find any clues.
00:28:15solids.
00:28:17It is clear that they continue to dig into the criminal context to which the woman belonged.
00:28:22While investigating the murder of Doravendola, in March 1997,
00:28:29However, Milan is shaken by another news story.
00:28:34A girl seemingly disappears into thin air.
00:28:41She disappeared last Friday and after her shop closed, no one heard from her again.
00:28:48Some witnesses here in the neighborhood saw her walk away, head for the subway and then disappear.
00:28:55She is a young girl, 25 years old, 1.53 m tall.
00:28:59At the time of her disappearance she was wearing a black leather jacket, knee-high boots and black leggings.
00:29:09On March 7, 1997, a beautiful, young girl, Simona Carnevale, disappeared.
00:29:20And she disappears from her hairdressing shop, which was in Via Palmanova, right next to the bar where the seeds
00:29:31free people, including Antonio Mantovani, went to lunch.
00:29:37Mr. Massimo, you were the last one to see Simona on Friday night. What happened?
00:29:42And nothing, she closed the shop with me every night, she passed by here, she was going towards the subway,
00:29:47he said bye bye to me and nothing else, that is, I didn't see anything strange.
00:29:51Look, you weren't worried because you said hello every night?
00:29:54Every evening, nothing different from usual.
00:29:58She was calm, did you see her as normal?
00:30:00But she's been a little nervous lately, but I don't think it was anything special.
00:30:04Simona disappears and no one hears from her for many days.
00:30:12She honestly didn't leave, because otherwise she would have called.
00:30:15Why are you so sure about this?
00:30:17Because she has a heart, like all people, it doesn't seem right to me that she disappeared like that into thin air.
00:30:28A beautiful 25-year-old girl, Simona Carnevale, never returns home, sending her family into despair.
00:30:39All traces of her have been lost, she seems to have been swallowed up by the city.
00:30:46Dr. Franconieri, what are your colleagues doing?
00:30:51When the disappearance is so unusual, when the family members do not immediately find an explanation for it and perceive a danger,
00:31:00in-depth judicial police activities are carried out immediately.
00:31:04In particular, people who are somehow informed about the facts are heard, the last people who have heard it.
00:31:12sight, the witnesses.
00:31:13Does this first activity lead to anything?
00:31:16No, the girl really disappeared into thin air. She left her hairdressing shop that evening and about her
00:31:24no further news has been heard.
00:31:25Nothing significant emerges, but the investigation must not stop. Something happens, there's a leap.
00:31:35The leap from the investigative point of view leads again to a name, Antonio Mantovani.
00:31:40Because Antonio Mantovani, the semi-free regime, worked near Simona's hairdressing shop
00:31:48and he went to eat and have lunch with the other inmates in a restaurant at the same street number as the shop
00:31:55hairdresser's, at number 56.
00:31:58Simona's father, heard further in more depth,
00:32:04he remembers and reports to the investigators that Simona was a little disturbed by the attentions of a prisoner she frequented
00:32:15that restaurant.
00:32:15At that time Antonio Mantovani, already suspected of the murder of Dora Bendola,
00:32:22in some ways it also becomes so due to the disappearance of Simona Carnevale.
00:32:27But these are just suspicions.
00:32:29As the search for Simona continues, there is yet another twist in this story.
00:32:42In June 1997 in Milan, in via Santa Teresa, therefore on the outskirts of the city,
00:32:52the body of Cesarina Dedonato is found in a public housing complex.
00:33:03The initial news was that Dedonato had committed suicide.
00:33:12The woman was found on the bed, half-charred.
00:33:17It would appear that the woman took her own life of her own volition.
00:33:21The body of Cesarina Dedonato was found with these very residues of cellophane bags
00:33:29on the head, around the neck, and around the bed many dolls.
00:33:37She was found at the foot of a bed, in a state where there were very serious burns all over her body.
00:33:48of the body,
00:33:48In some parts, even, a carbonization of the tissues was noticeable, in the lower part.
00:33:55A corpse, moreover, so to speak, barely recognisable even from the point of view of its somatic features.
00:34:01which had been destroyed by the flames.
00:34:08It's a macabre and sad discovery, plastic dolls and blankets covering the body
00:34:17semi-charred body of a sixty-year-old.
00:34:19Her name is Cesarina Dedonato.
00:34:23It's a crime scene straight out of a horror movie.
00:34:28Dr. Franconieri, what impression do your colleagues have, what do they think about this scene?
00:34:37Well, the fact that the woman was found with plastic bag residue on her head
00:34:43it also raised the possibility of suicide.
00:34:47But that was a crime scene.
00:34:49There was a set-up.
00:34:52The body had been partially charred
00:34:55and the fire had been lit because women's perfume had been poured on the body.
00:35:02There were dolls around the body.
00:35:05So it seemed absolutely unlikely that the woman had committed suicide in that manner.
00:35:10However, it is necessary to wait for the intervention of the medical examiner.
00:35:13And it is the autopsy that says something very, very important.
00:35:28The problem with the autopsy of Dedonato was the collection of evidence
00:35:34that could give another idea of the cause of death.
00:35:40So the cause of the death of the dedonato could be identified in this form of external suffocation.
00:35:48even by practicing a deduction by exclusion of other elements.
00:35:53We concluded from an expert point of view that Dedonato had been the victim of a homicide.
00:35:59she had been the victim of some form of violence in some way
00:36:02and that she certainly hadn't killed herself and hadn't died of natural causes.
00:36:12In short, the hypotheses that his colleagues initially make when faced with that scene
00:36:19are confirmed by forensic medicine.
00:36:22Cesarina Dedonato did not kill herself,
00:36:27but even for Cesarina Dedonato we must speak of murder.
00:36:34The building is being X-rayed.
00:36:39Antonio Mantovani had rented the house on the fifth floor.
00:36:46And not only that, there was not only a physical closeness,
00:36:50but there was also a relational closeness.
00:36:52Antonio Mantovani knew the victim,
00:36:55in fact, it was she who had arranged for him to rent the apartment.
00:37:00And he knew her because she was a friend of his.
00:37:04She was a friend of his who had entered into the circle of acquaintances
00:37:10of the semi-prisoners with whom Mantovani frequented.
00:37:13The moment the name of Antonio Mantovani comes up, once again,
00:37:19the police go to get him.
00:37:23And what happens instead?
00:37:25It turns out that Antonio Mantovani, on the very evening of the murder,
00:37:31he left the apartment he lived in with the television and the light on
00:37:35and went into hiding.
00:37:38He did not return to prison.
00:37:40Run away.
00:37:41Run away.
00:37:42He runs away and the investigators at this point start a relentless hunt for him.
00:37:48and they find traces of it in Brindisi.
00:37:51His mother and stepsister lived in Brindisi.
00:37:56And there's more.
00:37:57At a certain point, in a hospital in Mesagne,
00:38:03we find traces of him.
00:38:05Why?
00:38:05Why Mantovani gets himself hospitalized,
00:38:08because he arrives at the hospital with wounds on both forearms,
00:38:13but by the time the police arrive at the hospital
00:38:17he has already fled again.
00:38:18And what kind of wounds were they?
00:38:20They were stab wounds.
00:38:24Just cuts on both forearms.
00:38:27But there is one interesting thing
00:38:30which emerges from listening to doctors
00:38:33who had treated and operated on him.
00:38:35On Mantovani's skin and hands
00:38:41there are traces of a substance,
00:38:43traces of burning,
00:38:45with residues of substance
00:38:47that doctors can't remove.
00:38:49And it's resin, probably.
00:38:51Let's remember the dolls on the bed
00:38:55of the latest victim.
00:38:57But then do you take it or not?
00:38:59We track him down some time later,
00:39:02January 28, 1998,
00:39:05in a small village in the province of Bergamo.
00:39:07He is arrested for evasion.
00:39:09He is the main suspect
00:39:11at that moment of Cesarina's death.
00:39:13This time they open for him
00:39:15not the courts of the Opera prison,
00:39:16but those of San Vittore.
00:39:18Once captured,
00:39:19How do you justify that escape?
00:39:22Justify tax evasion
00:39:23in a very singular way,
00:39:26because he claims to have learned about it
00:39:29of the fact that he was under investigation
00:39:30not for the murder of Cesarina,
00:39:33but for the murder of Dora Vendola,
00:39:34the woman who had been found
00:39:36in the trunk of the red cream.
00:39:41So, while Mantovani is taken back to prison,
00:39:45the big turning point in this intricate investigation
00:39:48it comes thanks to something
00:39:51emerging from a criminal scenario
00:39:54much, much bigger.
00:40:02I was working inside at the time.
00:40:05of the Milan anti-mafia prosecutor's office.
00:40:09Those were very difficult years.
00:40:11from the point of view of contrast
00:40:12to mafia organizations.
00:40:15And working on a criminal group
00:40:18in particular,
00:40:19we arrived at a farmhouse
00:40:22which was located in Nosedo,
00:40:24which had been the place
00:40:25where it had been hidden
00:40:27a huge game
00:40:28to narcotics.
00:40:29There were more than 2,000 kg of hashish.
00:40:34We arrived to capture,
00:40:36he had escaped,
00:40:37but we found it in Sardinia,
00:40:39a person who was the manager
00:40:41of this farmhouse,
00:40:43whose name was Carlo Fermi.
00:40:46Carlo Fermi is a person
00:40:48he too is in semi-liberty.
00:40:50Carlo Fermi is the turning point
00:40:52of history
00:40:52of the carnival affair.
00:40:54In May 1998
00:40:56he says one thing
00:40:57extremely important.
00:40:58What?
00:40:59In May 1998
00:41:00Fermi asks to speak
00:41:02with Dr. Maurizio Romanelli
00:41:03of the prosecution
00:41:04because he wants to report
00:41:06an episode
00:41:08that he is aware of.
00:41:11We did an interrogation
00:41:13and this person
00:41:14for the first time
00:41:15so absolutely
00:41:16unexpected for me
00:41:17enter the name
00:41:18of a colleague of his
00:41:21of Semi Freedom,
00:41:23an inmate with him
00:41:25which is precisely Antonio Mantovani
00:41:26and at first
00:41:29in a generic way
00:41:32but at my request
00:41:33connect the person
00:41:35by Antonio Mantovani
00:41:37to two different events.
00:41:38The story of the death
00:41:40by Cesarina Dedonato
00:41:42and the story
00:41:44of the disappearance
00:41:46and then we thought
00:41:48note of death
00:41:49by Simona Carnevale.
00:41:55Simona Carnevale
00:41:56Unfortunately
00:41:57most likely
00:41:58she's dead.
00:41:59Carlo Fermi
00:41:59he is a collaborator
00:42:00of justice
00:42:01crime-related
00:42:03who was semi-free
00:42:04and detained
00:42:05with Mantovani.
00:42:06Carlo Fermi
00:42:07start saying
00:42:08some things
00:42:09very important.
00:42:10both on the matter
00:42:12Cesarina Dedonato
00:42:14that on the matter
00:42:15Simona Carnevale.
00:42:17It's just the name
00:42:19by Antonio Mantovani
00:42:21to Dr. Romanelli
00:42:22and tells him
00:42:23that his partner
00:42:24of Cella
00:42:25is involved
00:42:26in those two
00:42:27crimes.
00:42:29Professor Antinori
00:42:31in Milan
00:42:32of the 90s
00:42:33what relationship
00:42:34it is created
00:42:35among the free seeds
00:42:37and the big one
00:42:39crime
00:42:40organized?
00:42:41First of all
00:42:42there is a problem
00:42:43relating to a deficit
00:42:44of control
00:42:45free seeds
00:42:46so basically
00:42:47these subjects
00:42:48that they had to
00:42:50to reintegrate
00:42:51that they should have
00:42:51to reintegrate
00:42:52socially
00:42:52as a purpose
00:42:53precisely
00:42:54of justice
00:42:55they become
00:42:55an opportunity
00:42:56in the context
00:42:57criminal
00:42:57organized
00:42:58because I am
00:42:59workforce
00:43:00extremely
00:43:00flexible
00:43:01that in the phase
00:43:02daytime
00:43:03Obviously
00:43:03they can move
00:43:05in the city
00:43:05therefore they constitute
00:43:07in terms
00:43:07of human geography
00:43:08a resource
00:43:09in the hands
00:43:10of crime
00:43:11organized
00:43:12which among other things
00:43:12increases
00:43:13his presence
00:43:14also in the field
00:43:15of the prison.
00:43:16significant
00:43:17it's the fact
00:43:17that they are created
00:43:18of the places
00:43:18of coagulation
00:43:19criminal
00:43:20in which these subjects
00:43:22they meet
00:43:22and share
00:43:23the same interest
00:43:25criminal.
00:43:26Doctor
00:43:27Franconiers
00:43:28after the statements
00:43:30by Carlo Fermi
00:43:32to the magistrate
00:43:33things become
00:43:35more concrete
00:43:36No?
00:43:37What emerges?
00:43:39What's coming?
00:43:40ascertained?
00:43:42About the case
00:43:43by Cesarina
00:43:44Dedonato
00:43:44it is ascertained
00:43:46That
00:43:47not only
00:43:48she was the neighbor
00:43:50at home
00:43:50and he had found
00:43:51the apartment
00:43:52to Mantovani
00:43:53but what
00:43:55essentially
00:43:56she had entered
00:43:57right in the circle
00:43:58of his friendships
00:43:59through
00:44:00the Fermi brothers themselves
00:44:02and the farmhouse
00:44:03of Nosedo
00:44:04which was the place
00:44:04of meeting
00:44:05of all this
00:44:06circle of people.
00:44:08With regard to
00:44:08what about Carnival instead?
00:44:10We have confirmation
00:44:11further
00:44:12of the fact
00:44:13that they knew each other
00:44:14and that Mantovani
00:44:15he had some ambitions
00:44:16about her
00:44:17he had an interest
00:44:18about her
00:44:19because in the context
00:44:20of the seeds held
00:44:22who frequented
00:44:23the restaurant
00:44:24close to his
00:44:25workplace
00:44:26this thing
00:44:27had emerged.
00:44:28The painting begins
00:44:30to be
00:44:31increasingly clear
00:44:32Mantua
00:44:34had shown
00:44:35of the sights
00:44:36on the
00:44:37poor
00:44:38Simona Carnevale
00:44:39meanwhile
00:44:40the magistrate
00:44:41Doctor Romanelli
00:44:43hears several times
00:44:44Stop
00:44:45and discovers something
00:44:46of fundamental
00:44:48happened
00:44:49right at night
00:44:50next
00:44:51to the disappearance
00:44:52by Simona.
00:45:02Fermi tells
00:45:04what happens
00:45:06in the cell
00:45:07when it arrives
00:45:08Antonio Mantovani
00:45:09Antonio Mantovani
00:45:11he's coming back
00:45:11an hour later
00:45:13respect
00:45:14at the scheduled time
00:45:15that's all
00:45:16out of breath
00:45:17he says
00:45:18which was
00:45:19beaten
00:45:20but
00:45:20the people
00:45:21that I am with him
00:45:23they notice
00:45:23that there are none
00:45:25traces
00:45:25of a beating
00:45:26then Fermi
00:45:27tells us
00:45:28that in the morning
00:45:29next
00:45:30Mantua
00:45:32arrives at the farmhouse
00:45:33and says he has
00:45:36killed the person
00:45:37with whom he had had
00:45:39the contrast
00:45:40and that he had the corpse
00:45:42in the car
00:45:44asks Fermi
00:45:45to help him
00:45:46to bury him
00:45:47Fermi says no
00:45:50Mantua
00:45:51insists
00:45:51and he would have done
00:45:53see
00:45:54very fleetingly
00:45:55that inside
00:45:57the trunk
00:45:58there was
00:45:59a corpse
00:46:00Fermi says
00:46:02who does not see
00:46:03the corpse
00:46:03so in front
00:46:05of numerous questions
00:46:06he is not in condition
00:46:07to say
00:46:07if he is a man
00:46:08or a woman
00:46:09but he says that surely
00:46:11it was a corpse
00:46:12very small in size
00:46:20this Fermi
00:46:21according to his story
00:46:23he would have refused
00:46:24to help
00:46:25Mantua
00:46:26to hide
00:46:27the corpse
00:46:28at this point
00:46:30Mantua
00:46:30it would have been
00:46:31removed
00:46:32with the car
00:46:33a Y10
00:46:34and would have
00:46:36then told Fermi
00:46:37to have it
00:46:38missing
00:46:39in an area
00:46:40country
00:46:41from Piacenza
00:46:42doctor
00:46:44Franconiers
00:46:45that little one
00:46:46body
00:46:48That
00:46:49Carlo Fermi
00:46:50he doesn't see
00:46:52but he senses
00:46:53to be
00:46:54small
00:46:55precisely
00:46:56could be
00:46:58that
00:46:58by Simona Carnevale
00:47:00Carlo Fermi
00:47:01is considered
00:47:02credible
00:47:03by the investigators
00:47:04the girl
00:47:07it was tall
00:47:08one meter and fifty-three
00:47:09the body
00:47:10it could have been
00:47:11within
00:47:11of the trunk
00:47:12of a Y10
00:47:13which was a trunk
00:47:14in size
00:47:15extremely small
00:47:16and there it was
00:47:17a body
00:47:18why Fermi
00:47:19he states
00:47:20of having seen
00:47:21some shoes
00:47:22gymnastics
00:47:23at this point
00:47:25what's happening?
00:47:26at this point
00:47:27we draw conclusions
00:47:29the public prosecutor
00:47:31Romanelli
00:47:32makes a request
00:47:33of precautionary measure
00:47:34to the investigating judge Salvini
00:47:35and Dr. Salvini
00:47:38has
00:47:39a precautionary custody
00:47:40in prison
00:47:40for both crimes
00:47:42the crimes
00:47:42by Cesarina
00:47:43Dedonato
00:47:43and the crime
00:47:44by Simona Carnevale
00:47:47and here it is
00:47:49that the two magistrates
00:47:51Salvini
00:47:52and Romanelli
00:47:53they question
00:47:54Mantua
00:47:55they are found
00:47:56in front of
00:47:56to that
00:47:57who believe
00:47:58the serial killer
00:48:00that was
00:48:01terrifying
00:48:02the city
00:48:03of Milan
00:48:04the interrogation
00:48:10it was an interrogation
00:48:10in which
00:48:11were contested
00:48:13all things
00:48:14which progressively
00:48:15had emerged
00:48:15and for each
00:48:17Mantua
00:48:18offered
00:48:19a possible explanation
00:48:20this is a bit
00:48:21a feature
00:48:22the capacity
00:48:23to give the explanation
00:48:26if we find it in front of us
00:48:28I have to say
00:48:30that even though having
00:48:31both me
00:48:31that the colleague
00:48:32I saw many people
00:48:33because obviously
00:48:35our work
00:48:35he took us to know
00:48:36every kind
00:48:37of subjects
00:48:39he was a man
00:48:40which aroused
00:48:41a certain uneasiness
00:48:43it was understood
00:48:44who had a strength
00:48:45occulea
00:48:45he was a man
00:48:46massive
00:48:47and above all
00:48:49with that sense
00:48:50Of
00:48:51how to say
00:48:52of alienation
00:48:53that gave you
00:48:53his gaze
00:48:54as if it were
00:48:55a bit
00:48:56I'm absent
00:48:57on another planet
00:48:58he didn't empathize
00:48:59I'll explain to you
00:49:00with us interlocutors
00:49:01it doesn't tell us anything
00:49:08Mantua
00:49:09does not admit
00:49:10his responsibilities
00:49:12denies
00:49:12but now
00:49:14everything leads
00:49:15to him
00:49:16March 2nd
00:49:18of 2000
00:49:19it is postponed
00:49:20on trial
00:49:21the indictment
00:49:23double
00:49:24homocide
00:49:25voluntary
00:49:26April 19th
00:49:28of 2000
00:49:29starts in front
00:49:30at the third court
00:49:32of assizes
00:49:33of Milan
00:49:34the process
00:49:35own
00:49:35to Antonio
00:49:36Mantua
00:49:37for everyone
00:49:38him
00:49:39by now
00:49:40it's the monster
00:49:41of Milan
00:49:47on the basis
00:49:49of work
00:49:49carried out
00:49:49during the investigations
00:49:50Romanelli
00:49:51asks
00:49:52and gets
00:49:52to send
00:49:53Mantua
00:49:54on trial
00:49:55for the murders
00:49:56of the Carnival
00:49:57and De Donato
00:49:58knowing perfectly well
00:50:00which is a process
00:50:00difficult
00:50:01because there are
00:50:02those who
00:50:03the magistrates
00:50:04they call
00:50:05clues
00:50:06multiple
00:50:06and convergent
00:50:08but it's missing
00:50:08the queen's test
00:50:09the smoking gun is missing
00:50:12it was a process
00:50:13a process
00:50:15complicated
00:50:15we have rebuilt
00:50:17through the process
00:50:18all that
00:50:19which had emerged
00:50:19in the phase
00:50:20of the investigations
00:50:21preliminari
00:50:21and then
00:50:22let's say
00:50:23that ability
00:50:24reconstructive
00:50:25that there had been
00:50:26under investigation
00:50:27In my opinion
00:50:27there was also
00:50:29through the process
00:50:30public
00:50:30and in the contradictory
00:50:32I believe that
00:50:33on the cause
00:50:34of De Donato's death
00:50:35we worked well
00:50:36I believe
00:50:37probably
00:50:37that we have been
00:50:38very convincing too
00:50:39in the classroom
00:50:40from one point of view
00:50:41of the explanation
00:50:42of a test
00:50:43which was fundamental
00:50:45in the process
00:50:47Why
00:50:48the cause
00:50:49of death
00:50:49of De Donato
00:50:50it was doubtful
00:50:52not so much
00:50:53doubtful
00:50:54as
00:50:55homocide
00:50:56we certified
00:50:58that it was a murder
00:50:59and you don't have to
00:51:01forget
00:51:01that we were
00:51:02doing a trial
00:51:03for a murder
00:51:05of a body
00:51:06never found
00:51:07two situations
00:51:08very critical
00:51:10from one point of view
00:51:11of the accusatory castle
00:51:17like all processes
00:51:19circumstantial evidence
00:51:20this process too
00:51:21he has nothing
00:51:22of course
00:51:23and during the hearings
00:51:25moments emerge
00:51:26of strong tension
00:51:28doctor
00:51:29Franconiers
00:51:30what's happening?
00:51:32the defense
00:51:32he takes refuge
00:51:33on the hypothesis
00:51:34of suicide
00:51:35it's clear
00:51:36there is a painting
00:51:37circumstantial evidence
00:51:37which brings
00:51:38to Mantovani
00:51:40show
00:51:41for the defense
00:51:41which is a suicide
00:51:42and not a murder
00:51:43it means to win
00:51:44but the judges
00:51:46they go in one direction
00:51:47in the direction
00:51:48of the painting
00:51:49circumstantial evidence
00:51:49brought by the public
00:51:50ministry
00:51:51Mantua
00:51:52he is the murderer
00:51:53by Cesarina
00:51:54during the process
00:51:56what is the behavior
00:51:57of Mantovani?
00:51:58Mantua
00:51:59continues
00:52:00undaunted
00:52:01to deny
00:52:02any charge
00:52:03And
00:52:04at a certain point
00:52:05it also begins
00:52:06to speak
00:52:06of himself
00:52:07of his life
00:52:08of how he grew up
00:52:09and abuses
00:52:10which he suffered
00:52:11when he was a child
00:52:12perhaps to arouse pity
00:52:14the judges
00:52:15but this thing
00:52:16he clearly does not have
00:52:17had then
00:52:18no kind of relief
00:52:19for the conviction
00:52:20in the end
00:52:21the sentence
00:52:23it's life imprisonment
00:52:24for the serial killer
00:52:26Antonio Mantovani
00:52:27but it doesn't end here
00:52:28the process
00:52:30and the sentence
00:52:32they concern
00:52:32the murders
00:52:33by Simona Carnevale
00:52:35and Cesarina
00:52:36Dedonato
00:52:37but
00:52:38we are not there
00:52:39forgotten
00:52:39by Dora Vendola
00:52:41the woman
00:52:42killed
00:52:43and found again
00:52:44in the trunk
00:52:45of the machine
00:52:46and on which
00:52:47the investigators
00:52:48they are still there
00:52:49investigating
00:52:49a murder
00:52:51clerk
00:52:52shortly after
00:52:52the concession
00:52:54of semi-liberty
00:52:55to Mantovani
00:52:56on the murder
00:52:58Dora Vendola
00:52:58they continue
00:52:59the investigations
00:52:59emerge
00:53:00that Dora Vendola
00:53:02he knew
00:53:03Mantua
00:53:03and that
00:53:05among themselves
00:53:05there was a relationship
00:53:06of friendship
00:53:08at this point
00:53:10Mantua
00:53:11he is under investigation
00:53:13At that time
00:53:14at this point
00:53:15I think it is
00:53:15essential
00:53:17try to involve
00:53:19the doctor
00:53:19Pisan
00:53:20and get yourself
00:53:21explain better
00:53:22how they work
00:53:24things
00:53:24but in 1996
00:53:26when you suspect
00:53:27by Mantovani
00:53:29it wouldn't have been possible
00:53:31to revoke
00:53:32the measure
00:53:33of semi-liberty
00:53:34At that time
00:53:35Certainly
00:53:36if the court
00:53:38of surveillance
00:53:39had had
00:53:40these elements
00:53:41could have
00:53:42to revoke
00:53:43the measure
00:53:44because the measure
00:53:45it is revocable
00:53:46at any time
00:53:47the investigators
00:53:48they thought
00:53:50not to report
00:53:52the court
00:53:52of surveillance
00:53:53just because
00:53:54at the moment
00:53:55it was about
00:53:56of mere suspicions
00:53:57so much so that
00:53:57only in 1998
00:54:00it starts
00:54:02actually
00:54:03to investigate
00:54:03the Mantovani
00:54:04even for these crimes
00:54:05Thank you
00:54:06doctor
00:54:07Pisan
00:54:08At that time
00:54:09respect
00:54:09to the years
00:54:1090
00:54:11those of history
00:54:12which we are talking about
00:54:13occupying
00:54:14the police today
00:54:15of State
00:54:15has all the tools
00:54:16to manage
00:54:17effectively
00:54:18an episode
00:54:19of violence
00:54:20of gender
00:54:21doctor
00:54:22school
00:54:23which measures
00:54:24they were
00:54:25adopted
00:54:26entered
00:54:27Yes
00:54:28the direction
00:54:29anti-crime center
00:54:30of the police
00:54:30of State
00:54:31he elaborated
00:54:32of the guidelines
00:54:33once
00:54:34arrived in the operations room
00:54:35through the numbers
00:54:36emergency
00:54:37a report
00:54:38for alleged violence
00:54:39the operations room
00:54:40what does he do
00:54:40send on site
00:54:41a crew
00:54:42and then he takes care of it
00:54:43to consult
00:54:43immediately
00:54:44the databases
00:54:45and the application
00:54:46inter-force shield
00:54:47this is a system
00:54:48which allows
00:54:49to acquire
00:54:50all information
00:54:52useful
00:54:52relating to the previous ones
00:54:54interventions
00:54:55of the crews
00:54:56on the same address
00:54:57or involving
00:54:58the same victim
00:55:00in the context
00:55:00of the so-called
00:55:01gender violence
00:55:02and then
00:55:03what does it mean
00:55:04that the operators
00:55:05once arrived
00:55:06on site
00:55:06so knowing
00:55:07just the address
00:55:08of the place
00:55:08of the alleged violence
00:55:10they already know
00:55:11the episodes
00:55:12previous
00:55:12and can acquire
00:55:14Therefore
00:55:14all information
00:55:15that they need
00:55:16this data
00:55:16they are useful
00:55:17because they allow
00:55:18to the operators
00:55:19to prepare
00:55:20the best protection
00:55:21they know how to approach
00:55:23at best
00:55:23the victim
00:55:24not only
00:55:25they are also useful
00:55:26for your own safety
00:55:27we think
00:55:28to the reported
00:55:29presence of weapons
00:55:30or if they know
00:55:31already in advance
00:55:32that the author
00:55:32he is affected
00:55:33from mental disorders
00:55:34this system
00:55:35it is widespread
00:55:36throughout the national territory
00:55:38and can be consulted

00:55:45to Antonio Mantovani
00:55:47his story
00:55:48that of his victims
00:55:49a story
00:55:51with an ending
00:55:51tragic
00:55:52and unexpected
00:55:54full
00:55:54of shots
00:55:55on stage
00:55:57stay
00:55:58with us
00:55:59Now
00:55:59only
00:56:00a short break
00:56:01advertising
00:56:04what Mantovani
00:56:06he will confide in his lawyer
00:56:07it's a very hard blow
00:56:09because he can't see anymore
00:56:09no hope
00:56:10to go out
00:56:15Welcome back to Detective
00:56:16we are telling
00:56:18the story
00:56:18of a serial killer
00:56:19the monster of Milan
00:56:20Antonio Mantovani
00:56:22and its victims
00:56:23after being convicted
00:56:25for killing
00:56:26three women
00:56:27Mantua
00:56:28it is located in the center
00:56:29of a new investigation
00:56:30the one about the crime
00:56:32by Dora Bendola
00:56:33the one in 1996
00:56:35the crime
00:56:37from which we started
00:56:38but there is a new one
00:56:40plot twist
00:56:55the Court of Cassation
00:56:57establishes
00:56:57the prison
00:56:58definitively
00:57:01at that moment
00:57:03probably
00:57:04Mantua
00:57:05in prison
00:57:06medita
00:57:06No?
00:57:07medita
00:57:08that no longer carries
00:57:09trick
00:57:10a second time
00:57:14what Mantovani
00:57:15he will confide in his lawyer
00:57:17it's a very hard blow
00:57:18because he can't see anymore
00:57:19no hope
00:57:20to go out
00:57:20he had stated
00:57:21in the past
00:57:22to be willing
00:57:23to write a memorial
00:57:24to tell
00:57:25his version
00:57:25of the facts
00:57:26evidently
00:57:27to exonerate oneself
00:57:27but the sentence
00:57:28definitive
00:57:29trust
00:57:30to the lawyer
00:57:31Franco Gandolfo
00:57:31it's something
00:57:32that no longer gives him
00:57:33no reason
00:57:33to live
00:57:34and that's why
00:57:35that in 2003
00:57:36Mantua
00:57:37he will take his own life
00:57:38during his detention
00:57:39in prison
00:57:44my intention
00:57:45it was that
00:57:46to continue
00:57:47the investigation
00:57:48also in relation
00:57:49to the murder
00:57:50by Dora Vendola
00:57:50but then precisely
00:57:52Mantua
00:57:53he committed suicide
00:57:54and so the story
00:57:55it closed
00:57:55with an archive
00:57:56for death
00:57:57of the suspect
00:57:58and also
00:57:58in the story
00:58:00by Dora Vendola
00:58:01which is found
00:58:03dead
00:58:04in the trunk
00:58:05of his car
00:58:06even if it isn't
00:58:07never been attributed
00:58:09with sentence
00:58:10to Mantovani
00:58:11Certainly
00:58:11he lifted
00:58:12some doubts
00:58:14on the fact
00:58:14that it could be
00:58:15him
00:58:16the protagonist
00:58:17and then
00:58:18the episodes
00:58:19then they became
00:58:20there were many
00:58:22In short
00:58:22those for which
00:58:23he was sentenced
00:58:24that those
00:58:24of which he was suspected
00:58:30there will never be
00:58:32a conviction
00:58:33for the umpteenth
00:58:34homocide
00:58:34of the serial killer
00:58:36there won't be
00:58:37never even
00:58:38a process
00:58:38for Dora Vendola
00:58:40Antonio Mantovani
00:58:41he dies
00:58:42suicide
00:58:42March 28th
00:58:44of 2003
00:58:46hanging himself
00:58:47in his cell
00:58:48of the prison
00:58:49from Saluzzo
00:58:50in the province
00:58:51from Cuneo
00:58:51where it was located
00:58:53locked up
00:58:53to discount
00:58:54the sentence
00:58:55to life imprisonment
00:58:57At that time
00:58:58Antonio Mantovani
00:59:00he leaves the scene
00:59:01it takes off
00:59:02life
00:59:02but the suspicion
00:59:04is that
00:59:05this serial killer
00:59:07may have committed
00:59:10others too
00:59:11crimes
00:59:12doctor
00:59:14Franconiers
00:59:14the fact that
00:59:15to tell
00:59:16this story
00:59:16there really is
00:59:17she
00:59:17who is in charge
00:59:18of the unit
00:59:19crimes
00:59:19unpaid
00:59:20a team
00:59:21special
00:59:22of the police
00:59:22of state
00:59:23it's no coincidence
00:59:27what can we say
00:59:28regard
00:59:29this
00:59:30possibility
00:59:31Well
00:59:32in Milan
00:59:33in those years
00:59:33we still have
00:59:34of the crimes
00:59:35unpaid
00:59:37Mantua
00:59:38he was a man
00:59:39who hated women
00:59:40he hated women
00:59:41and killed
00:59:41of women
00:59:42who knew
00:59:45we can't
00:59:46to exclude
00:59:47that he has
00:59:47killed others
00:59:48When
00:59:49he committed suicide
00:59:50he brought himself
00:59:50behind
00:59:51some secrets
00:59:52including the place
00:59:53of burial
00:59:54by Simona Carnevale
00:59:55whose body
00:59:56it has never been
00:59:57returned
00:59:57to his family
01:00:01what we do
01:00:02everyday
01:00:03And
01:00:04consider
01:00:05the solved cases
01:00:06also dating back
01:00:08over time
01:00:08of the cases
01:00:09still alive
01:00:10of the cases
01:00:11who speak
01:00:12and how they talk to us
01:00:14they talk to us
01:00:14even through
01:00:15the people
01:00:16That
01:00:17they know something
01:00:19they saw something
01:00:20they remember something
01:00:21even by hearsay
01:00:22so I do
01:00:24an appeal
01:00:25so that
01:00:26the people
01:00:27that something
01:00:28they know
01:00:28Perhaps
01:00:30they have passed
01:00:31of the years
01:00:31it moved
01:00:32something about them
01:00:33in their own consciences
01:00:34or anyway
01:00:35they don't want each other
01:00:36keep this secret
01:00:37which is a secret
01:00:38uncomfortable
01:00:38for life
01:00:40to contact
01:00:42the police
01:00:43to contact
01:00:44the editorial staff too
01:00:45of Detectives
01:00:46so that
01:00:47we can
01:00:48to rekindle
01:00:48a lighthouse
01:00:49on situations
01:00:50that otherwise
01:00:51remain unresolved
01:00:52so it falls
01:00:53so the curtain
01:00:55on the dramatic
01:00:56story
01:00:57who saw
01:00:58as protagonists
01:00:59Antonio Mantovani
01:01:00if he is the killer
01:01:02of Milan
01:01:03the monster
01:01:03of Milan
01:01:04and his
01:01:05poor victims
01:01:06women
01:01:07death
01:01:07for having refused
01:01:09sexual performance
01:01:11to their executioner
01:01:12it remains a thought
01:01:14particular
01:01:15to be addressed
01:01:15to the poor
01:01:16Simona Carnevale
