The Caprotti family and the ‘Years of Lead’ (1960 – 1980): Renato Vallanzasca
These days, supermarkets are a favourite target for theft and robbery because they are easy to access and always full of cash, open-air banks, you could say: Esselunga now has many shops, not only in Milan, and every night they call Dad to tell him about the day’s takings and the robberies that have taken place
