Another Incredible Story. The protagonist is a 73-year-old man from Primavalle.

He couldn’t remember anything, not even his own name. But no, the faith, it’s impossible to forget: “I am from Rome”. The 73-year-old amnesiac who was rescued by local police officers at the Circus Maximus had left his home in Primavalle last Friday, leaving behind a farewell note: “I am stepping aside, I’m no longer of any use”. It was penned in the aftermath of a scam. He had responded to a text message, assuming it was from his bank. Instead, he found himself with an emptied account of life-time savings: 18 thousand euros. The story told by Repubblica strongly mirrors that of Luciano, the fan who can’t remember anything from 1980 until now. He had discussed what had happened with his family, but it was not enough to alleviate the despair, which soon turned into estrangement. Shaken to the core, he opened his house door and began walking relentlessly. For days, his relatives looked for him everywhere. They even reached out to the show “Who Has Seen Him” without results. The turning point arrives when, on the man’s path, the officers from the First Group Historical Center land not far from the famed Circus Maximus. It is he who approaches them with a gaze. Then with a plea for help: “I’m cold.”

The 73-year-old is made comfortable by the policemen at the station headquarters. And she responds in the same way to every question: What’s your name? I don’t know. Where are you from? I can’t remember. Do you have children? Who knows. The light only switches on when one of the officers from the first group tries to calm the tension, moving onto a different topic: “What team do you support?” The dim eyes of the retiree suddenly gain color: “I’m from Rome, you know. I even attended the inauguration of the Olympic Stadium.” Thanks to the distinct yellow and red memories, recollections begin to resurface. Little by little, the man begins piecing together the scattered fragments of his life. It tells a story of having slept at Termini Station. Then it begins to provide useful clues to trace her identity. Officers from the Nae Department (Assistance Nucleus for the Marginalized) listen to him, cross-reference his words with the reports submitted to the popular show “Who Has Seen Him?” and manage to track down his family. Shortly, the children are able to hug their father again and bring him back home. Fear transforms into emotion and joy, the mystery is solved. That farewell note is already forgotten.
