Speaking of her father Enzo, Tortora said: “Dad was extremely ironic. They were joking with Piero Angela, with other friends… and I thought as I saw these images that they took away the possibility of happiness and lightness from an entire family”. Recalling the moment of the arrest, the journalist revealed that “after nothing was as before”. And again: “What still pains me a lot today is how the information has treated this horrendous page and unfortunately it has no less responsibility than a certain malagiustizia”.
