“Why did he do it?” We often ask ourselves this when faced with particularly ferocious crimes, especially when they are unmotivated and therefore appear even more incomprehensible to us. Instinct leads us to believe that evil is the result of madness or a homicidal fit, because this thought reassures us and distances us from a much deeper fear. And that is that there are evil people. However, not everything can be attributed to a sick mind, mental pathologies or an abrupt loss of self-control. Indeed, every violent action, even the one that seems most sudden, is always the consequence of what has been building up over time. Stefano Nazzi shows us this in this collection of disturbing stories. With tight and engaging prose, he tells us the stories of ten people who have done evil and represent it well: men and women of different ages, who in Italy have been guilty of heinous crimes, often with non-existent motives. From the best known, such as Nicola Sapone of Satan's Beasts or Luigi Chiatti, the Monster of Foligno, to lesser-known names, such as the serial killer Gianfranco Stevanin, the "Black Cherubino" Roberto Succo or, again, the three girls who killed in Chiavenna for no reason a nun. Nazzi tells us what they were like and how they became "monsters", often without anyone around them suspecting what was happening. And he also tells us what happened next: someone continued to kill, others wanted to disappear; there are those who still have not fully realized the pain it has caused and those who continue to proclaim their innocence. No one can know where evil comes from, or why these murderers did what they did. What is certain is that evil is like a stone thrown into a pond: it spreads out in concentric circles, causing pain to the victim and everyone around her. But, unlike those in water, «the circles of evil do not disappear after a few seconds. They last a long time, sometimes forever."
