In the first he is a journalist. In the last (or penultimate) one he is a journalist (even if -usually- it is a job that, once abandoned, is never resumed). Of all the lives - we venture - the one he liked the most was the actor. Because Purgatori always acted a little, in every life. With that warm voice, the dull half-Tuscan look like Clint Eastwood, the slow walk, the raised eyebrow. THOROUGHLY CASUAL When he arrived at the crime scenes it was an event. In Via Gradoli, during the Moro case, hideout of the Red Brigades, he appears late, lolling, dressed carefully casual, the half-smile of someone who always knows something more.
Without any arrogance. A bit American in DY Leads Rome, he who had obtained the Master of Science in Journalism at Columbia University in New York. At the base, passion for supremacy, but also great curiosity for the lives of others. At the time of via Gradoli, 1978, he recently left Il Tempo for Corriere della Sera. At the Corriere he will be an unscrupulous head of the Chronicle of Rome, the elders still remember the scandal of an investigation into extreme sexual behavior. On the swampy Corriere! HANDFUL OF REPORTERS There is the Ustica massacre, he puts himself at the head of the handful of reporters who try to break through the international silence. And the foreign missions, Iran-Iraq, Gulf War, Intifada, Tunisia, Algeria. In 2000, the farewell.
Sensational, crazy farewell. He leaves the Corriere, his permanent job, as a chosen correspondent, when journalism is still socially prestigious, because he started with screenplays and entertainment, for him, she is a magnificent siren. He has already written "The Rubber Wall", a film about the plane that crashed in Ustica and about himself (directed by Marco Risi) and "The Boy Judge", the story of Rosario Livatino, murdered by the mafia in Agrigento at less than forty years old. years old, believer and practitioner. He, Andrea, on the other hand, considers himself a believer, not a practitioner. The screenplay becomes another life. There is a search for quality, “L'Industriale” by Giuliano Montaldo, “Segreto di Stato” by Giuseppe Ferrara, a small important film like “Fortapasc”, the story of Giancarlo Siani, a precarious reporter, killed by the Camorra at the age of 26 ( again with Marco Risi).
