Tv 666 Ritratto Di Famiglia Episode 1 New Today

In 1966, a television repairman delivers a cursed television set to an aristocratic family in Venice. In the present day, a true-crime podcaster uncovers the infamous "Massacre of Palazzo Della Torre," only to realize the TV has been turned back on—and it remembers everything.

The episode opens in the autumn of 1987. We meet the Savastano family—father Luciano (a brilliant, nervous performance by Alessio Boni), mother Elena (Cristina Donadio), and their two children, Marco and Sofia. They have just moved into a sprawling, dilapidated country mansion in the province of Viterbo. Why? Luciano has inherited it from a great-uncle no one knew existed.

Right from the first frame, the sound design is unsettling. The classic TV 666 theme (a distorted lullaby played backwards on a music box) fades into the hum of a 1980s cathode-ray television. Static. Then, a whisper: “Spegni la luce” (Turn off the light).

Episode 1 excels at slow-burn tension. For the first twenty minutes, nothing overtly supernatural happens. Instead, we watch the family unpack. But director Martina Sgorbati plants subtle clues: family photos where the faces are scratched out, a basement door that refuses to stay locked, and a vintage TV set (marked with the number 666 in white paint) that turns on by itself every night at 3:33 AM.

The “new” element in this episode is the found footage integration. Half the episode is shot cinematically; the other half is presented as if it is the family’s VHS home movies. When Marco, the teenage son, records his first “family portrait” outside the new house, the camera glitches. For a single frame, the audience sees all four family members standing behind them—older, rotting, smiling. It is a jump scare that works because it is earned.

Warning: Light spoilers ahead, though describing this episode is like describing a dream.

The new episode opens not with the original TV 666 intro (the famous croaking raven over a graveyard), but with 10 minutes of static. Then, a modern disclaimer appears: “Quanto segue è stato registrato nel 2023 utilizzando metodi del 1987. Nessun effetto digitale è stato impiegato.” (What follows was recorded in 2023 using 1987 methods. No digital effects were employed.)

We then see the famous living room set, recreated to exacting detail: the floral wallpaper with water stains, the CRT television that shows only snow, and the grandfather clock whose hands spin backward. In 1966, a television repairman delivers a cursed

The new Ritratto di Famiglia family is introduced:

The first letter asks: “Why does my television turn on by itself at 3:33 AM?”

The Father’s response: “Because it misses the old shows. We miss you too. Do not touch the antenna.”

The segment devolves into a 15-minute silent sequence where the family eats dinner in reverse—pulling spaghetti out of their mouths and placing it onto plates. Midway, the screen glitches, and for exactly 4 seconds, a modern smartphone appears on the coffee table. Then it’s gone. The actors do not acknowledge it.

The episode ends with the Mother looking at the camera and, breaking character, saying: “Non abbiamo mai smesso di filmare. Solo tu non stavi guardando.” (“We never stopped filming. You just weren’t watching.”)

The screen cuts to the words: “EPISODE 2 NEW – 2024.”

Before diving into "Ritratto di Famiglia" Episode 1, we need to understand its mothership. TV 666 was a late-night program that aired on Antenna Sicilia and later Telemontecarlo (TMC) between 1987 and 1989. Conceived by the enigmatic director Orlando Furi (a pseudonym, as his real identity remains disputed), the show was a chaotic mix of horror sketches, gothic puppetry, distorted synth music, and unsettling “family” segments. The episode opens in the autumn of 1987

Unlike traditional variety shows (varietà), TV 666 had no laugh track, no glossy sets, and no famous hosts. Instead, it featured a host known only as Il Signore delle Ombre (The Lord of Shadows), a cloaked figure with a voice distorted by analog tape degradation. The show’s budget was reportedly so low that most sets were repurposed from abandoned funeral homes.

However, the show’s heart—and its most controversial segment—was "Ritratto di Famiglia" (Family Portrait). This supposed “family advice” segment was a surreal nightmare: a fake family (Mother, Father, two creepy children, and a taxidermied dog) would read letters from viewers and respond in unsettling, non-sequitur monologues about death, suburbia, and expired food products.

Several factors have turned "tv 666 ritratto di famiglia episode 1 new" into an internet phenomenon:

For decades, the original three episodes of "Ritratto di Famiglia" were considered lost media. Only low-quality VHS recordings, often corrupted by magnetic interference, circulated among collectors. The segment became legendary because of Episode 1 (original air date: November 12, 1987), which featured a 12-minute scene where the "Father" (actor Mimmo Locascio) slowly consumed a raw chicken while the "Mother" whispered Italian recipes backward.

That original episode ended abruptly with the frame freezing on the youngest child, Liliana, who stared directly into the camera for 47 seconds without blinking. The broadcast then cut to a test pattern. No explanation was ever given.

For years, fans believed the master tapes were destroyed in a fire at a storage facility in Palermo in 1991. That is, until last month.
