The murder of Francesco Lorusso consists of a map that depicts the University district of Bologna, authentic report photos of the time and a text that describes the circumstances that led to the murder of Francesco Lorusso — a Lotta Continua militant and medicine student— during the morning of 11 March 1977.
The map shows how the event occurred within the urban environment, the text sums up the historical sources and the trial’s transcription.
