Italian dossiers"deals with the subject of unidentified flying object sightings in a rigorous and objective manner, reporting on important documents never published before, from the archives of the Air Force, and testimonies collected by law enforcement agencies. In a recent interview, Petrilli himself said: 'The book was born out of our journalistic curiosity. The authors were aware of the existence of the institutional archive that collects documentation on 'Italian UFOs'. After the necessary enquiries to the Air Force, the two journalists were granted access to the records, which made it possible to encapsulate in the book most of the episodes recorded in the Italian skies. The book contains numerous cases of sightings that occurred in our region, images of which will be shown during the presentation, along with reconstructions and documentary photographs.
