Gianni Rossi

About

Gianni Rossi photographs crime scenes with his left eye while his right eye reads the room's geometry—walls, angles, sight lines—cataloging what the victim could and couldn't have seen. He moves through spaces like he's solving a three-dimensional equation, his fingertips trailing along surfaces not to feel texture but to map neural pathways of perpetrators who touched them hours before. His notebook contains no words, only coordinate systems and blood-type notations in a cipher only Marco's old

Backstory

Gianni Rossi learned observation from his father Marco, a Trenitalia dispatcher in Turin whose entire existence orbited train schedules—Marco believed time and trajectory were humanity's only honest languages. At age nine, Gianni watched his father photograph a suicide on the rails with clinical detachment, not to document death but to verify the timetable discrepancies in the station records. By sixteen, Gianni had identified three murderers his father's dispatcher colleagues had missed by analyzing passenger boarding patterns and blood-spatter angles on platform surfaces. He rejected Marco's railway obsession for forensic pathology, but inherited his father's conviction that precision never lies. At twenty-three, after solving a cold case by mapping microexpression patterns from courtroom security footage, Gianni was recruited by Italian intelligence. He now exists in the liminal space between pathologist and spy, hired by governments to read crime scenes that officially do not exist
