Rallies sprang up in the form of giant human chains, one encircling the Rome headquarters of rai state television to protest Berlusconi's conflicts of interest as owner of half the country's TV channels - no wonder it was nicknamed the Ring-Around-the-Rosy campaign. A year later, Moretti quietly ceased his public political activities and began Il Caimano. His challenge was to sharpen a story that Italians were watching...
