But city leaders hoped this year would be a turning point. The city’s mayor had entered Macerata into a contest to become Italy’s 2020 capital of culture. The college town of 42,000 has a lot to offer: opera, Futurist masterpieces and a world-class collection of horse-drawn carriages, to name a few things. The area’s tranquillity attracted Pamela Mastropietro, an 18-year-old from Rome. As a young teenager, she had started dating a Romanian drug dealer and gotten hooked on drugs. Her mother persuaded her to enroll in a drug-treatment center overlooking vineyards in the hills near Macerata, photographed here by @kostyukov.

Her death inspired Luca Traini to go on a shooting rampage, wounding 6 African migrants. At the height of the migrant crisis, Italy had been a progressive bastion and a staunch supporter of European unity.
