What if a secret group in 1950s Italy believed they were helping extraterrestrials living beneath the Adriatic Sea? In 1956, Bruno Sammaciccia reportedly encountered mysterious visitors who called themselves the Friends. His extraordinary story became known as the W56 Friendship Case, or Amicizia. According to witnesses, a secret network delivered fruit, water, and other supplies to the visitors, communicated through unusual devices, and learned about enormous hidden bases beneath Italy. But the story became even stranger. The Friends allegedly claimed Earth was the final battlefield in a conflict against a rival civilization known as the CTR. Their technology supposedly depended on Uretta — an energy created through love, friendship, and cooperation. In this Mystery documentary, we investigate the testimony, historical records, controversial photographs, and possible explanations behind one of Italy's most unusual UFO stories.
