The accusations. The suspicions. The devastating impact. This is
the true story of the Devils of the Bassa Modenese-the most
notorious Satanic Panic investigation in the history of Italy. In
1997 a six-year-old boy questioned by authorities relayed
disturbing stories of abuse. The more he talked, the more people
were implicated in his shocking revelations. And he was only the
first child to come forward. Within a year, fifteen more children
with similar tales were transferred out of the Bassa region of
Italy to protected locations. Their parents were accused of
belonging to a satanic sect that performed sex rituals under the
aegis of beloved local priest Don Giorgio Govoni. With each child's
confession, the network of monsters grew. Families were torn apart.
Lives were forever destroyed-and some ended-as allegations of
kidnapping, torture, sacrifice, and murder escalated beyond
comprehension. But what was really happening in the Bassa Modenese?
In this gripping account of the Satanic Panic of the 1990s,
investigative journalist Pablo Trincia returns to the scene of the
crimes to find the answer. And the truth he uncovers is as
terrifying as the lies.
