San Gimignano (Siena) – Museum of Torture and Death Penalty

An exhibition that exposes the worst side of human nature: in every man a potential executioner hides and hides.

An exhibition that continues to receive great acclaim from the public for its strong and clear historical value and which includes instruments that are unique in the world.

An exhibition that does not need to emphasise, through representations of blood or scenes of horror, its message: the instruments speak for themselves.

A unique exhibition for its interpretation and with content with a strong impact on visitors. An exhibition in which the horror aroused in spectators upon seeing the instruments allows us to make them our allies in the fight against torture.

An exhibition that aims to be a strong testimony and that does not remain limited in history but which becomes very topical.

An exhibition confirming the fact that, if presented with great rigor and correctness, it helps to foment a conscience of solidarity and to respect the opinion and beliefs of those who think differently from us, the primordial basis of the democratic systems of the modern era.
