Descrizione

What do a remote island in the Venice Lagoon have in common with the major cities of the East?

Why did sailors from every country and religion pay homage to the island with cannon salutes?

Why was a commemorative coin minted in honor of the events in which the island was a protagonist?

Why does Poveglia cyclically “disappear” from view, only to reappear after decades or centuries?

The island of Poveglia is known worldwide for the legends that surround it. Ghosts, plague deaths, macabre visions.

Where do these legends come from? Is there any truth to them or is it all an invention?

An accurate historical reconstruction “enlarged” and supplemented with recordings, photos and videos that prove that in Poveglia, the energies sparked by the events still linger, along with the voices of those who lived here.

With audio recordings and photos of those who never left Poveglia.

Alessandro Bronchi and Susy Biaggiotti, two enthusiasts of folk traditions and legends, who have managed to combine historical research with technology to document how much truth lies behind the phenomena and legends that have always fascinated us.

With a preface by Umberto di Grazia
