Menti oscure (Il Giallo Mondadori)

The setting feels so vivid and authentic, but I wonder what inspired the balance between historical accuracy and storytelling. Did the research influence the story's direction?

The characters' grief and moral struggles added depth, but it also made me wonder how much of their pain was based on real historical events or purely fictional.

The setting feels so integral to the plot, especially with the societal issues of the time. I'm curious whether these choices were driven by personal interest or historical significance.
