简介：The series Portobello, which focuses on the true story of Enzo Tortora, a clamorous miscarriage of justice which rocked Italy in the 1980s. The 6-episode series about the famous presenter of TV show Portobello – on air for seven editions from 1977 – who was accused by several cooperating witnesses of being part of a Camorra-linked association dedicated to drugs trafficking. Tortora was thrown into prison and tried for years before being definitively cleared of all charges.
“Tortora suffered a great injustice: he was arrested, tried and sentenced, and only totally cleared after a long legal odyssey. He was a fighter, but the fight made him ill and ultimately took his life. I won’t turn him into a saint, I’ll dig deep down into this man’s story in a series, because a film couldn’t contain it”, Marco Bellocchio explained.
