"Stefano Cucchi's corpse still speaks. It would be worth listening to him." La Stampa

The death of Stefano Cucchi is one of those news events that mark a generation and a piece of Italian history. Because symbolic affair, loaded with heavy meanings: the violence of Power, the fragility of the rule of law, the inability of institutions to come to terms with the responsibilities of their servants. Carlo Bonini for more than ten years has closely followed the Cucchi case - through the reading of court documents, interviews with family members, the study of medical and counter-legal expert reports on the causes of death - and in this civil investigation, told with the tools of the most pressing narrative, he puts at the center the first and last witness of the truth about what happened: the body of the crime. Stephen's dead body. In the updated edition of the book, Bonini takes us through the developments of the last few years: from the new trials of doctors and carabinieri to the unexpected turn of the confession that has turned the tables. For it is time to let that tortured corpse speak, to make him tell what he knows and what some would not have wanted him to say, and to explain to all of us, who may not want to listen, how much our bodies are at the mercy of Power, State, and History.
