Unsolved cases and Italian femicides: meeting with the journalist Giuseppe Rinaldi

11/27/2024

On November 27, 2024, the third and final event of the "Per DIRE di NO (SAY NO)" series took place at RacMet ACADEMY, organized by Raccorderie Metalliche in collaboration with the Municipality of Marcaria and the Municipal Library "Filippo Martani". The event, entitled "Casi irrisolti e femminicidi italiani - Unsolved Cases and Italian Femicides," featured journalist and writer Giuseppe Rinaldi as the protagonist, author of the book  Il Mostro è libero (se non è morto) - The Monster is Loose (if he's not dead).

Throughout the meeting, Rinaldi shared some of the most significant and intense stories from the Italian crime news, discussing the topic of femicides and the challenges in resolving certain cases. Hosted by the Culture Councillor of Marcaria, Gloria Castagna, the evening provided a moment of analysis and discussion on the complex dynamics that often accompany gender-based crimes and on the urgent need for a more effective response from society and institutions.

The "Per DIRE di NO" event has ended with this intense evening, delivering a powerful message of raising awareness on gender-based violence and the crucial role of a cultural shift to prevent it.

The project “Per DIRE di NO” was initiated last year in collaboration with the Marcaria Municipality and the Filippo Martani Library. It was launched to increase awareness about violence, which targets not only women but is broadly directed, as violence can manifest not just physically, but also verbally. During these meetings, an effort is always made to raise awareness about these issues. This is the final event of this year's series of reviews, concluding tonight with journalist and author Giuseppe Rinaldi, who will present their book.

The initiative to invite journalist Giuseppe Rinaldi originated from a general interest in crime journalism. His programs are consistently followed due to their high quality and scientifically rigorous presentation. This initiative was launched as the concluding event in the "Per DIRE di NO" series, organised in partnership with the Marcaria library and Raccorderie Metalliche, specifically to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. As a municipality, the company consistently prioritised discussing women's issues and ensuring opportunities for women to share their stories. Raccorderie Metallich believes that fostering a form of inclusion and social engagement explicitly tailored for women can greatly benefit those seeking a supportive group that will listen,

The book is the result of an extensive journey that started many years ago. It was during the production of hundreds of minutes of content for "Chi l'ha visto" that the complexity of the events and crimes was revisited. This revealed that the narrative of the Monster of Florence encompasses not only the crimes themselves but also the story of the investigations. This book tells the investigation and the story of a Carabiniere who arrived in Florence in 1983 and stayed until 1986. The topic of femicide is of huge importance. To tackle and resolve this tragedy effectively, it is crucial to identify what is lacking in our society and culture that influences the psyche of individuals. There is something hindering our species from being individuals of distinction.
