    10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Lilia Lanteri, local resident
    "It means feeling something different, to have a certain knowledge, to know the history of the village, to help people as well. Because the Triora witches are positive, these women have always helped and healed, only they were not understood. They have been tortured and killed because nobody understood them."
    11. Various of witch Antonietta walking about town
    12. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Antonietta Alberti, local witch
    "Living here in this witches' village I have become more enthusiastic of knowing more. Because, what did witches do in the past? Some healed with plants, some hated. When they had fights, it was war among the witches of Triora (cutaways). There were good and bad ones, they were not all bad witches."

    11. SOUNDBITE: (Italian) Lorenzo Lanteri, mayor of Triora
    "A very intricate trial started, which lasted three years, with over 200 local women involved, a child and an elderly. This was without a doubt the biggest witches trial in Italy. It didn't end up with stakes, even though thirteen were sent to the stake, because both the Republic of Genoa and the Inquisition put a halt to it. However, in reality five women died in the Genoa prisons, and three died while being tortured."

    LEAD IN:
    Halloween preparations are under way in a small village in Italy's Maritime Alps that is celebrated for its spooky history.
    The mountain town of Triora has a long and chequered history with the occult dating back to the 1500s.
    Today the town is the prefect backdrop to celebrate Halloween on the 31 October.
    STORYLINE:
    Walking through the narrow cobbled streets of Triora is like stepping back in time.
    Dilapidated 500-year old buildings add to the 'mystical' atmosphere of this mountain town.

      I tryed to put subtitle but they aren't abilitated. So here i am, trying my best in the comments:
      First woman: well, when someone lives here, it does fascinates, you know.
      Second woman: (being a witch) it means feeling something different to others, knowing, well, knowing something different, knowing the history of the Village. Also helping, helping other people. Becouse, well, witches of Triora (name of the Village) were good people. They always helped and cured others. They were never understood, they were tortured and killed becouse they were never understood.
      Third woman: Living in this Village of witches i was more- let's say i was more entusiastic of knowing. And in the and, what does the witches did in the past? Of course they cured others, but some witches hated other witches, and then they fought. There were good and bad witches. There were not only bad witches!
      Well, let's say, if someone is Hurt, you do this work here: you take a handful of herbs, you mash them in the mortar with the verbena (don't know the traslation of this word, but it is a type of herb)
      (same woman): if you know that a woman is resenting at you the only thing that it saves you is a just a bit of coarse salt and garlic in your pocket. Understand?
      Man: that's how it started a Long and slow process that involved 300 women or so (plus a Child and an old Man); that's why it is, without any doubt, the Longest process of witchcraft in italy. It has not ended with convictions on fire (despite 17) becouse at some Point both the Republic of Genova and the Inquisition stopped the process. But 5 women died in the Genova's prisons and other 3 during the intereogation.
      Fourth woman: halloween (here) was born by herself (?) becouse people liked to come and celebrate halloween here. [...] on 31's night there'll be a walk illuminated with halloween pumpkins that will conduce to were it will be herald the most beautiful mask.
      Sorry if my English is not the best ahaha.

      Ciao!!
      Sono italiana e vivo in California. I write much better in English. I was born in the March region. My Great Grandmother was the village healer, you can say. Mia Mama calls her a white witch. I am curious about any practices in the marche region. I am a beginner my self. I want to focus on more of my heritage witchcraft. I would love to pick your brain. Gracie Bella.
