Death Rossi, Ris 'video shows shadows stopping at the beginning of the alley'

There are 12 sequences of 'shadows' compatible with the presence of one or more people in the blind area at the entrance to Vicolo Monte Pio, in Siena, in a period of approximately ten minutes - between 8.04 pm and 8.14 pm - on 6 March 2013, when the former communications head of MPS David Rossi died by falling from the window of his office in the bank's headquarters. This is what emerges from the conclusions of the Carabinieri RIS report dedicated to the analysis of the video surveillance footage and the simulation carried out on site on 22 June 2026.

According to what is reported in the 74-page report, illustrated this morning to the parliamentary commission of inquiry into Rossi's death, the examination of the video made it possible to identify '12 macro-events' characterized by attenuations of brightness on the white marble wall at the end of the alley, where cars passed in via dei Rossi.

Phenomena which, according to the analysis, cannot be traced back to visual artefacts, digital defects or compression disorders. But they would be compatible with the interposition of opaque anthropomorphic bodies, i.e. probably people, between the headlights of vehicles and the wall.

The experimental verification, conducted through three-dimensional surveys with a laser scanner and the reproduction of the shooting conditions, identified five possible positions, indicated as stations A, B, C, D and E, compatible with the projection of the shadows observed in the 2013 film. A relevant element concerns the possible view of the body of David Rossi, who fell from the window of the Rocca Salimbeni office and remained on the ground in the alley.
