The church of San Bernardino hosts an exhibition that traces the history of the churches of Vercelli through the figures of their martyrs and the persecutions they suffered. On display are original torture instruments and relics of the Confraternita della "Buona Morte", testimonies of a past that Professor Luigi Angelino and Riccardo Noury, spokesman for Amnesty International Italy, will link to contemporary reality in an evening meeting dedicated to torture in the world. The exhibition is open for three consecutive weekends, with free admission. The initiative is organized by La Rele in collaboration with the Confraternita di San Bernardino and Amnesty International Terre dell'Alto Piemonte.
