DOMENICA DI CARTA 2024 ‘Violent Rome. Crimes and murders in the city of the popes’ A story taken from manuscript 972 and from the “Editti e Bandi” fund of the Casanatense Library With the participation of journalist and criminologist Imma Giuliani  like a detective, the librarian and the archivist move around the “crime scene” (of the past in their case), collecting clues, photographing and documenting traces, following trails, which will lead them to the partial or overall reconstruction of a given scenario, event or crime. A sort of cold case, but marked by those noir tints that only the modern eye can impart. Born from the idea of promoting and enhancing the Casanatense EdittiBandi collection and, therefore, a category of bibliographic heritage that is little known on a large scale, the initiative will retrace the steps of the research conducted for the realisation of the event itself. With a ‘magnifying glass’ and determination in solving the three cases examined here, ‘sniffing out possible leads’, it was possible to read the entire Casanatense manuscript Ms.972, from which it was then possible to consult and study documents preserved in the State Archives in Rome. The baton will then be passed to the journalist and criminologist Imma Giuliani, who will lead the visitor along the path of analysis with which it is possible to read historical and archival documents with the gaze and approach of someone who, however, carries out this profession today. 13 October 2024 10.30 a.m.-12.30 p.m. At the Monumental Hall of the Casanatense Library Via Sant’ Ignazio, 52 Rome Admission free subject to availability
