An itinerary through the lesser-known Turin, where fear has left deep traces. Ancient hospitals, major epidemics, and crimes born of collective terror tell the story of a fragile, restless city, often forced to live with death. From the diseases that changed the face of the city to the first, uncertain steps of modern medicine, care and crime are intertwined in a story full of tension.
As you walk through streets and places still marked by these events, stories of isolation, suspicion, and social control will emerge. An evocative route between real events and repressed memories that reveals the darker, more disturbing side of Turin.
