The Vanishing of Alessandro Massini

One plague doctor tried to expose government lies… and vanished.” During the 1600s

plague outbreaks, a doctor named Alessandro Massini uncovered something terrifying: Cities were hiding

the real death numbers. He documented overflowing pits full of bodies, children dying in locked homes,

and local officials burning corpses without counting them. Massini gathered

evidence to publish a full report that would expose the corruption. But before it could

be released, he disappeared. His house was ransacked. His notes, burned.

Witnesses who spoke to him suddenly “forgot” or refused to talk. The only surviving

parts of his research were fragments copied by students. Massini’s disappearance was never solved
