“Rome, June 4, 1902. Without an appointment, a young doctor walks through the doors of the Director General of Public Security. In a matter of minutes, he convinces Minister Giolitti to create something that doesn’t exist: a School of Forensic Science. Three months later, at Regina Coeli, the world’s first course transforming investigation from an empirical practice to a science-based discipline is launched. At the center of this revolution is Salvatore Ottolenghi, a Jew from Asti, a student of Cesare Lombroso, driven by the desire to ensure truly just justice.”
