I will tell the story of the recent success of the italian fireball network PRISMA (Prima Rete Italiana per la Sorveglianza sistematica di Meteore e Atmosfera) in finding the first italian meteorite thanks to the computation of a precise strewn-field made possible by observations with eight all-sky camera of the network. And how this success is due to close cooperation among professional astronomers, amateur astronomers, astronomy enthusiasts and simple citizens.
