A guided tour is offered at the Le Nuove Prison Museum and the adjoining air-raid shelter.
The architectural structure features individual cell segregation, the panoptic system of the First Rotunda, and the only surviving memory of the small isolation cubicles where inmates were kept in absolute silence.
A mirror of society, it allows visitors to understand what it means to live deprived of freedom inside a cell.
The visit recalls well-known criminal events, stories of fascists, the last capital execution in Italy, anti-fascist struggles, the resistance within the notorious first German wing, the testimony of universal values in the death-row cells, and the years of terrorism marked by the brutal killing of four officers.
Meeting point: Le Nuove Prison Museum, Via Paolo Borsellino 3, Turin
