And unpublished documentary on San Pio da Pietrelcina with documents and “shocking testimonies”. It is the ongoing project that he is carrying out Simona Ventura with her husband Giovanni Terzi, through their Ventura Academy which deals with the production of documentaries and docufilms.
The TV presenter herself confirmed that the saint with the stigmata has always had a particular charm for her.
«He is a figure – he reiterated – that attracts me very much: charismatic and controversial. And since I am a naysayer, I recognize myself in this.”. The presenter reveals that for three years she has been working, with her husband, on the creation of the documentary on San Pio, a work that contains «shocking testimonies and many unpublished documents” and that as soon as it is ready we will need to understand who will be willing to air it. A documentary that does not hide its profound religious faith even for the figure of the Saint of San Giovanni Rotondo. «I believe – continues Ventura – that Padre Pio fought with the devil, where by devil we mean evil however it manifests itself».
No particular comments from San Giovanni Rotondo and the friar’s brothers except the lapidary phrase of «knowing nothing about this new documentary on Saint Pio».
