The project produced by Cattleya with Rai Fiction, will be broadcast on Rai1 in three episodes from 14 to 28 November, directed by Andrea Molaioli. The story covers the time span from the day preceding the crime (29 September 1975) up to the second degree trial (October 1981), with the final conviction of the guilty parties Gianni Guido, Angelo Izzo, Andrea Ghira.

«Before accepting this demanding role – explains the actress – I had a very clear idea of ​​her figure and, to prepare to interpret her, I built an internal map… Tina was a free woman and she not only won this battle for the rights of women. She was one of the founders of the feminist movement and, during the first instance of the trial, she brought her fighting companions into the courtroom, who reacted strongly to what the defendants’ defenders said. Furthermore, with your activity, you left an indelible mark, culminating in the approval of the law on sexual violence in 1996: no longer a simple offense against modesty, but a crime against the person.”

Among the other protagonists of the fiction, already broadcast in September 2022 on Paramaount+, Ambrosia Caldarelli (Donatella Colasanti), Greta Scarano (Teresa Capogrossi), Adalgisa Manfrida (Rosaria Lopez), Guglielmo Poggi (Angelo Izzo), Leonardo Mazzarotto (Andrea Ghira), Marco Té (Gianni Guido).

«In an Italy where the female figure had to respond to the male ideal – Lanciotti continues -, that is, that of an angelic woman and, if she was outside of this scheme, she was considered no good, Tina stated that a woman has the right to be what he wants. During another court case, he allowed himself a bold provocation…”. Which? «A fellow lawyer asked her in an arrogant tone: instead of being here in the courtroom, why don’t you go home and make a sock? Tina asked the judge to be able to respond, but she was not granted. She then left the classroom and then returned with the knitting needles. The judge, instead of taking his defense, went into a rage.” An indomitable one? “Absolutely yes! She was feared by her colleagues for her meticulous preparation. Even towards her husband she was revolutionary! She had married a lawyer at a very young age. And she intended to continue studying at university, but her husband did not agree. At first he obeyed his will, however, when they returned from their honeymoon, his wife tried her hand at her first lunch to celebrate their return… Evidently she wasn’t very good at cooking, the dishes were a real disaster and her husband gave up. , granting her permission to continue her studies: better go to university… ».

Not just television, Lanciotti trained on the stage, a pupil of Giorgio Strehler. «I too was a bit rebellious towards the great master». Meaning what? «You once blamed me for a mistake the stage manager had made. I rebelled, he was about to give me a slap, I stopped his arm… And he gave up exclaiming: Pia Lanciotti, you have a shitty temper…”.
