RAI contributed to the story of the Maxi-trial, following the entire debate day by day, and filming all of the 1,400 hours of duration. A work that today is a visual testimony of the first great victory against Mafia. RAI rented a building in front of the bunker courtroom, that became the "editorial office" of the working group that was completely devoted of following the trial, tasked with recording the hearings, and preparing live and pre-recorded services for local and national newscasts. Today, more than 30 years later, they recall their mood and that of the city of Palermo, remember tragic and grotesque episodes, underline the commitment of judges and prosecutors.
