I take you back with me to this summer, when I visited Venice again after many years, deciding however to follow a path linked to the darker and mysterious side of this magical city, letting myself be guided through the streets by mysterious stories of local ghosts and legends.
On this journey of mine to the dark side, I could not miss the visit to Palazzo Zaguri, which a few steps from Piazza San Marco offered a full immersion in horror, between torture tools used in the history of the "serenissima" and real plasticized human bodies. in eternal poses in a modern anatomical museum. I leave you to the images, to better immerse yourself in this world of thrills!
The square in front of the museum..
He's the receptionist:
This is the reconstruction of the real dimensions of a prison cell, without air or light, where Giacomo Casanova also stayed
Process for murder
The "Malleus maleficarum", called the witches hammer because it served as a guide, during the Catholic inquisition, to persecute those guilty of witchcraft or heresies of various kinds
The terrible torture cage, in which the condemned were hung from many meters high and left exposed to the interperie, to die of hunger and thirst
The iron mask had a psychological torture function, subjected the condemned to humiliation and total helplessness..
This wooden bed does not come from a BDSM pleasure room, but was used to stretch the limbs of those who were tortured until their ligaments were injured, causing irreparable damage...There were various types, this one with iron tips was not supposed to be a pleasant experience!
..a cute choker..
The Mandrake, an inevitable element of folklore linked to witchcraft but beware: its power is as great as it is uncontrollable!
This black plague doctor reminds us that history is cyclical, introducing us to the part in which plasticized human bodies are exhibited..
..and here they are!
There would still be many things to show you, I leave you just a photo of the "Casino degli spiriti", the most famous haunted house in Venice, from which terrible screams are said to come, at night ... I did not hear anything.
I hope I kept you company on this lockdown evening and made you shiver enough🖤🌃🦇
