![Stefano Nazzi: «Cronaca e informazione, a Garlasco si è andati oltre il confine» [video intervista]](https://www.irishdentist.ie/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/News-and-information-in-Garlasco-we-went-beyond-the-border.jpg)
What is the boundary between information and spectacularisation of a crime event? The murder of Chiara Poggi and how it is told, analyzed by Stefano Nazzi, journalist and writer broadcast on Sky Crime
“The news should be told without giving in to the will of imaginative hypotheses and without trying to force emotion at any cost. How? By taking two steps back to tell what are the facts, the verified things.” Talking is Stefano Nazzione of the best-known faces (and voices) in the panorama of Italian crime, author of several series that have told crime stories and others he will tell with the new episodes of “Nazzi Racket”, available on Sky Crime from May 29th onwards.
The reference is directed to the Garlasco case, which fills newspaper schedules and pages and which has turned into a popular national catchphrase capable of overflowing and overwhelming the very meaning of the exercise of the right to report. “Garlasco is a unique story from a judicial point of view but it is above all a story in which we have gone further in what was built around the same story”.
Here is the conversation that Panorama.it recorded with Stefano Nazzi about crime news and information, pathologies and distortions that can even affect the outcome of the trial itself.
Stefano Nazzi returns from Friday 29 May 2026 on Sky Crime with “Nazzi Racket”, a new Sky Original production in which the journalist and writer has chosen to bring to the screen three cases of crime news that have struck the imagination of public opinion in recent years. It starts in May with the murder of Desirée Piovanelli and then moves on to Federico Aldrovandi in June and arrives at the Luca Sacchi case in July. Terrible stories linked by a single common thread: the dynamics of the pack.
The death of Desirée Piovanelli on 28 September 2002 in Leno, a small village in the lower Brescia area, was shocking due to the savagery and brutality with which the murder was committed. The 14-year-old was lured to a farmhouse by a group of her peers, attacked and killed. The investigations lasted weeks and led to the confession of a 16-year-old boy but soon expanded with the presence of minor accomplices and also an adult.
This and other stories are told and analyzed trying to answer agonizing questions: how do you get to kill in a group? What turns kids into a pack? How much do emulation, silence and complicity weigh when responsibility is shattered in many hands?
