Dopo cinquant'anni, la verità su Viola Valentino e Riccardo Fogli che ha sconvolto l'Italia

Throughout Italy, that story had been won by another woman. But fifty years later, it was Viola Valentino who rewrote the ending. In 1971, she married Riccardo Fogli, the lead singer of the Pooh. Two years later, he left the group and their marriage for Patty Pravo, in what became the most talked-about scandal in Italian pop music. The public put an end to the story there. Then something happened that no weekly magazine of the time fully covered. And in January 2025, half a century later, a few words posted on social media reopened the story. In this documentary, we reconstruct what really happened—based on public sources, television interviews, and statements from those directly involved.
