Giving voice to the forgotten figures in the case of the Monster of Florence, Edoardo Orlandi and Eugenio Nocciolini present Nessuno. Voci nella storia del mostro di Firenze (Giunti), through live readings from their book. Our role is to listen and reflect on these haunting narratives.

The book:

Eight double murders, seventeen years of terror, and an investigation without end—Nessuno recounts Italy’s most infamous cold case in a way never done before. This gripping narrative gives voice to those overlooked in history: the sixteen young victims who found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, along with their families, friends, investigators, and journalists.

Written as a compelling blend of fiction and true crime, the book presents a harrowing and multifaceted story. We hear from little Natalino, who falls asleep in the car after a movie outing with his mother Barbara and “Uncle” Antonio, only to wake to silence. From Stefania, deeply in love with Pasquale yet uncertain about their relationship. From Horst and Jens-Uwe, whose secret love was taboo in their time.

The narrative continues through to the final murder: Jean-Michel and Nadine, a French couple unaware of the lurking predator, a "nobody" who struck when couples were most vulnerable—while they loved each other.

Following the success of their podcast Nessuno, Nocciolini and Orlandi revisit the chilling saga of the Monster of Florence with the precision of investigative journalism and the intensity of a thriller.
