The shape of the story
Requiem of the Forgotten
Genoa, 1890 · Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno
A book in the earth
He finds it digging and takes it home — inside the cemetery. The book does not stay closed for long.
Teresa & Nina
Wife and daughter. Seen once — and it is enough.
Erasmo Bozzo
Gravedigger and caretaker. Not a summoned hero — the man who opened the door.
The pact
They signed. They are dead and do not rest. Take the piece — they can finally sleep.
Sixteen burials, sixteen fragments
One night at Staglieno. A slab no one wants whole.
Three forms of burial
Chapel — those who apologise
Signed for love.
Crypt — those who account
Signed for interest.
Mausoleum — those who despise
Signed for power.
In the demo they are called
Angiolina RebufelloBought a single life.
Bartolomeo OttonelloBought that the bank would never fail.
Anton Giulio BreganteBought power — and tried to renegotiate.
The Creditor
He needs a living hand. Erasmo opened the door: he is used.
