Turin: Italy’s City of the Unexpected. Illustrated talk in English by Dr Diana Bretherick, writer, former criminal barrister and criminologist.

In a follow up to her earlier talk, she explores further the darker side of the city of
Turin that she encountered whilst researching her novels including hauntings, black magic, murder and mayhem in both fact and fiction.
Where: Quorn Village Hall, 64 Leicester Road, Quorn, Leicestershire LE12 8BB (Free parking available at the rear).
