Il Testimone

2007–2021 · 9 seasons

An intimate, hand-held journey through ordinary lives and social issues, making you feel like a direct witness rather than a distant viewer.

Starring
Pif, Eleonora Abbagnato, Franco Trentalance
Overview
"Il testimone" (i.e. The witness) is a tv show created, made and presented by Pif. Every episode consists of a "mini-reportage", filmed through a little camera that Pif brings himself. This makes the spectator feel as if most of the tv filtres are removed and thus they can almost witness the events with their own eyes and feel directly involved in the social messages brought on by the show. Themes vary: they go from interviews to famous individuals, to trips, to the work of associations or even small everyday realities.
