"Document Mensile is a new "genre" of film." "It, like a cultural review, brings together with every issue... critical notes, documentations, short stories, poetic annotations." "Invited to participate are the most notable directors... and distinguished personalities from Italian culture and abroad... expressing themselves by filmic means in a exceptional way." ""Notes on a News Item" by Luchino Visconti" "On the night of March 11, 1950, Annarella Bracci, age 12, was brutally murdered... and thrown in a well on the outskirts of Rome, in the suburb of Primavalle." "As it now appears..." "Primavalle has existed for about 15 years." "It is one of a dozen suburbs whose inactivity and boredom surround... the riches of the city." "This is it, deserted under the sun, during a spring day." "This is a happy as life became for Annarella jumping rope with Wanda, their eyes innocent." "The knock of the tambourine out front." "And one night, the night of February 18, 1950 ten lires worth of chestnuts for twelve years of hunger following someone who led her down the road to the middle of a field..." "Someone who, after knocking her out..." "Hurting her..." "Now we resign ourselves, once again, holding wild flowers in our hands... and an aching sorrow in our throats."
