Dino Rossetti works as a clerk in a jewelry store in Cuneo when the shop is robbed. Later, after opening his own shop in Roccavione, he suffers a second robbery. In the second episode Rossetti says he reacted to the attack: "I am not a violent person, but I reacted," he explains. The double violence he experienced left deep economic and psychological consequences. Rossetti speaks of accumulated debts and a life to rebuild, while marking a path of recovery. "The wound does not go away," he concludes.
The case of Rossetti recalls a broader debate on the compensation system for crime victims in Italy. In particular, the case of Mario Roggero, a jeweler in Grinzane Cavour who during an armed robbery at his shop killed two robbers who had threatened his wife and daughter, has sparked discussions about the timelines and amounts of compensation. According to reports, the Court of Cassation set a provisional award of 780,000 euros for the 15 relatives of the two killed robbers, who joined as civil parties. The lawyers for the robbers' families announced they would seek garnishment of Roggero's properties and expressed possible interest in the fundraising campaign launched by the jeweler.
Conservative-leaning outlets denounce a system in which crime victims would receive lower compensation than the relatives of perpetrators. Several cases are cited: the sons of jeweler Giovanni Veronesi, killed in Milan in 2013, reportedly received 25,000 euros each after ten years; the families of the victims in the Kabobo case reportedly received no compensation; the father of Jessica Faoro, killed in 2018, reportedly had a recognized compensation of 48,000 euros never collected due to the convicted person's lack of assets. Other cited cases concern compensation deemed insufficient for victims of domestic violence and assaults.
These data were reported predominantly by a single outlet and have not been independently verified in this reconstruction. The question of compensation criteria between victims and perpetrators of crimes remains the subject of judicial and political debate, with divergent positions on the adequacy of amounts and the timelines for state payouts.
