(ANSA) - ROME, APR 12 - The Vatican wants to get to the bottom of the case of Emanuela Orlandi, the 15-year-old resident of the tiny city state who disappeared while returning home from a flute lesson in Rome on 22 June 1983, her brother Pietro Orlandi said after meeting Vatican prosecutor Alessandro Diddi on Tuesday.
    "It was a long, positive meeting," Pietro Orlandi told La7 television after an eight-hour encounter.
    "Diddi himself told me that he had a mandate from the secretary (of State) and from Pope Francis to clarify things 100%, to investigate every aspect and not go easy on anyone, from the bottom to the top.
    "This is a positive thing.
    "I told him everything I wanted to say and put down on the record the names and surnames from all the private investigations".
    The girl's disappearance sparked an intense media frenzy in Italy that has resulted in the case being called "Italy's most famous unsolved mystery".
    Emanuela was the fourth of five children of Ercole and Maria Orlandi.
    Her father was a Vatican employee and the family lived inside Vatican City. (ANSA).
