L'incontro, Italia, 2026

Giorgio Bazzega was two years old when, on 15 December 1976, his father was killed by Walter Alasia, 20, an exponent of the Red Brigades, who was in turn killed in the ensuing gunfght. As an adolescent, he processed what had happened and began a self-destructve path marked by drug addicton, which led him to become the ultras leader of a violent fringe of the extreme right. At the culminaton of his parable of rage and sufering, he comes into contact with the Gruppo dell'Incontro (Meetng Group), inspired by the principles of Restoratve Justce and created with the intenton of bringing together victms and perpetrators of the armed struggle. Here begins for him a path of revelatons in which humanity and mutual recogniton open the way to a healing process of personal and collectve traumas of the years marked by the armed struggle.

The idea of developing a documentary project on Restoratve Justce arose, as ofen happens in our work, from a happy and unexpected encounter: the day of Restoratve Justce organised in Ivrea in November 2022 with Agnese Moro and Adriana Faranda as protagonists, assisted by Father Bertagna. A room flled to overfowing, with part of the audience seated on the stage behind the speakers because the audience was full. Two intense hours, where the power of the testmony and the force of the words created a magical understanding with the audience, who listened in absolute silence, moved, astonished. My wife said to me at the beginning of the meetng: "of course I don't know how Moro's daughter can stand next to Faranda, would you?" I didn't answer her, wondering what I would do. At the end of the meetng she took my hand and whispered: "I've changed my mind, now I understand, it's good that we came, today I feel a litle wiser".
