In Quarto Grado we talk about the request for review of the trial for the Erba massacre for which the couple Olindo Romano and Rosa Bazzi were sentenced to life imprisonment. As is known, the Court of Appeal of Brescia accepted the request presented by the deputy prosecutor of Milan, Cuno Tarfusser, a magistrate who independently believes that in reality Rosa and Olindo did not commit the brutal murders of Raffaella Castagna, her son Youssef Marzouk, Paola Galli and their neighbor Valeria Cherubini and the wounding of Mario Frigerio were the work of other people. Thesis reiterated in the studio by the magistrate himself, who collected the alleged new evidence in the application, interviewed by Gianluigi Nuzzi. But in the episode of Friday 12 January an unpublished document appeared, the diary of Olindo Romano.

Marco Oliva shows it to viewers and explains some parts of the content. Romano writes “about his relationship with Rosa, he talks about her life after the conviction” but then also the attempt to reach Rosa in her prison”, states the journalist. In those pages “there is a request that he makes several times to the prison management in which he asks to be able to reach Rosa”, it is stated by Oliva who refers to the hypothesis, never proven in facts, that the man could have been induced to confess with the promise of a sort of “marriage cell” in prison, the journalist recalls. “The fact is that, despite everything, in those pages he still tries in every way” after the conviction, “to make requests to the prison management to live his relationship with Rosa together, behind bars”.
