A TV series to tell, with the language of docu-fiction, the story of the 1986-87 "Maxi-trial" against Cosa Nostra in Palermo, Italy. Instructed by the Anti-Mafia pool, led by Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino, the story of this historical process and of its exceptional numbers (476 defendants, 200 lawyers, a 8,000-pages-long verdict, 19 life sentences and 2,665 total years of prison) is recounted through the real images from court audiences (thousands of hours of audiovisual material that RAI Teche have restored, digitised, studied and investigated), enriched by reconstructions with fictional scenes.
