That chalet in Cogne (monument to morbid) that nobody wants



[ad_1]

How long did it take Cogne, no longer be the country of crime. I wonder how much time is left for the Montroz hamlet to stop being the equivalent of a crime scene, subject to continuous criminal tourism. Even today, e Almost 19 years have passed since January 30, 2002, there are people who stop in front of the house that appears after the last corner to take a selfie to send to friends.

The crime scene

And perhaps even the article you are reading is proof of an obsession that still persists, ever since legitimate curiosity about a heinous crime became almost mass hysteria. That house seems far from everything, separated from the rest of the town, which fortunately has long since resumed its daily routine. As if it were a monument, softened by thousands of television images, photoshoots and photos posted on social media. And basically home foreclosure most famous of Italy obtained from Carlo Taormina to collect late payments from Annamaria Franzoni, his equally famous ex-client, has something symbolic about it.

The Roman lawyer

Because the roman lawyer

, former undersecretary of Justice, perhaps the greatest architect of the national obsession that transformed the rather anonymous building where he was assassinated Samuele lorenzi, a three year old boy, in a funereal place of attraction. With the consent of the Franzoni family, it was he who took the investigation out of the courtrooms to finally deliver it to a television series with an almost daily cadence, which has become the key to the story of every crime that followed, a replicable format, crime news as a show. And he did it with a defensive strategy that contemplated only the media attack, the aggression instead of the reasoning, the bait for the media instead of studying the letters, like the continuous television advertisement about the identity of the real murderer.

Media exposure

Talk shows turned into a court of law

in which to expose to his client, Italy, an audience to whom to expose an ever new number, the truth of the facts is a simple detail lost in a sea of ​​talks. The tension always had to remain high, with bombastic and counterproductive phrases, but only the moment mattered, the media moment. This is how that house became what it can still be today. A sad and uninhabited place, object of a sterile curiosity, like the one artificially created at that time by Taormina, which could become the owner of a worthless asset, precisely because of what it represents. A few years ago the news broke that the Franzoni family had put their house in Cogne up for sale at an almost bargain price. No buyer showed up. Nobody wants to buy a monument to morbidity, designed and built on the blood of a child, and on the perpetual display of the tears of the mother who killed him.
