Following his first autopsy of a criminal, in 1870 professor Cesare Lombroso started touring Italy and Europe studying cases, dissecting bodies fresh off the gallows, gathering materials and visiting asylums, jailhouses and morgues. The fruit of his efforts, destined to give rise to the branch of psychiatry known as "criminal anthropology", is still on display within the museum Lombroso himself founded in Turin in 1876, nowadays found at number 15 on via Pietro Giuria. A truly chilling exhibit, it deserves a visit as testimony of one of the first tentative, if misguided, looks into the mysteries of human mind.
