Episode 1

Overview

The first episode of Superquark opens with a magnificent documentary from the USHUAIA series by Nicolas Hulot: a journey of contrasts between an extremely urbanized India and a Nepal where time seems to have stopped. Immersed in the calm of the Himalayan mountains or among the teeming masses of the Indian megalopolises, the “men-nature” seem to live in harmony with the elements. Strange, surprising and colorful. Alberto Angela will guide us on a visit to an unusual museum, the Cesare Lombroso Museum of Criminal Anthropology in Turin. The countless finds, which Prof. Lombroso had collected, belong to criminals and the mentally ill. The professor's scientific theories, later contested, nevertheless laid the foundations of criminology, with the use of analytical and statistical methods that are still current.
