Carcere di San Vittore, Prison in central Milan, Italy
The structure consists of six three-story wings arranged in a radial pattern, following the panopticon design concept developed in the 18th century.
The German SS took control of three prison wings in September 1943, using them to detain political prisoners and Jewish individuals before deportation.
The prison held numerous influential figures, including Antonio Gramsci, Mike Bongiorno, and Indro Montanelli during different periods of Italian history.
The facility, designed for 600 inmates, operates as a detention center at Piazza Filangieri 2, maintaining both judicial and preventive custody functions.
Between the prison wings, individual sections called walking roses prevent communication between inmates from different departments of the facility.
