Meanwhile, the February 20, 1987, Tortora was back with his “Portobello”. His opening speech goes down in history. “So, where were we? I could say many things and I will say few. You will allow me one: many people have lived with me, suffered with me these terrible years. Many people offered me what they could, for example they prayed for me, and I will never forget this”, adding later: “I am here, and I know it, also for speak on behalf of those who cannot speakand they are many, and they are too many”
