Two sisters: discovering the horror of superstition
Two sisters is the story of two sisters, as the title suggests, they are accused of witchcraft. The two are linked by a very close love relationship, but find themselves having to make a dramatic choice when, chased by five men, they find themselves running away into the woods.
The story comes to life near 15th century Verona, when the city was under the dominion of the Most Serene Republic of Venice. Diego Carli engages in the analysis of the popular mentality in the period of maximum expansion of the witchcraft trials, when beliefs and superstition dominated everyday life. The obsession with “evil” is analyzed with a deep psychological groove, up to the reasons why the fear of witches was so widespread at the time and why these women were considered responsible for every disaster.
