5 Making light
II-III secondary school of 1st grade

London, November 1830. On the morgue table lies the body of a fourteen-year-old. He wasn't stolen from a tomb, but killed to sell his body to medical schools. And he's not a nameless vagabond, but Carlo, the little Italian street vendor beloved by all. The case of the Italian boy, which shocked England and captured the imagination of the young Charles Dickens, opens one of the most horrific and least studied chapters of Italian emigration: the trafficking of thousands of children from our countryside to Europe's metropolises, where they were forced to beg or play music in the streets. Today, with Italy becoming a destination for immigration, it's more important than ever to remember that once upon a time, we were the "unaccompanied minors" seeking a better future. Lia Celi presents London Killing (Il Battello a Vapore). With her, Andrea Valente.
