The historical-museum route offers the discovery of the most hidden places where ordinary men suffered for the establishment of a free and democratic Italy, from Unification to the beginning of the Third Millennium.
The architectural structure features the individual segregation of the cells, the panoptic system of the First Rotunda, the only memory of the small cells used by inmates in absolute silence. A mirror of society, it allows understanding of how life is lived deprived of freedom in a cell.
It recalls well-known criminal events, stories of fascists, the last capital execution in Italy, anti-fascist struggles, resistance in the infamous first German wing, the testimony of universal values in the cells of those condemned to death, terrorism with the barbaric killing of four officers.
Historical and civil heritage of humanity that must not be forgotten.
