This essay analyzes the media interferences in the constitution of social memories about the murder of the child Isabella Nardoni and its eventual consequences in the jury trial. To understand this relationship, we resort to the field of social memory studies, Ricoeur's triple mimesis (1994) and flashbulb memory approaches.
