Marco Pantani: Death of a Pirate: 8. The People's Pirate
About this episode
Italy, and the world, are struck by grief at the death of the pirate. But as mourners throng the streets of Cesenatico, those closest to Marco are possessed by an undercurrent of suspicion.
We speak to the woman who knew Marco best - his mother, Tonina Pantani - about the Marco she knew - and about her gut instinct that something about the ‘crime’ scene seems wrong..
Narrated by Hugh Dennis, with the voices of Iain Ferrier and Helen Roper
Sound design: Rich Evans Additional production: Lorenzo Bodrero, Matt Kenyon and Ed Morrish
