| by Paolo Fiorino Fifty years of painstaking research and documentary collection condensed into a veritable encyclopedia. Mount Musiné, just outside Turin, is not only "the UFO mountain" with its hundreds of sightings, close encounters, and abductions, but also holds within its bowels a myriad of legends, rumors, and related mysteries: crashed spaceships, underground alien bases, paleo-astronautics, cryptozoology, contactees, black magic, and satanic cults. Esotericism, legend, and folklore. It is the "enchanted mountain," the ultimate symbol of Turin as a "magical city," a catalyst for interest in print, then online, and social media. And it is also pop culture, with its involvement in literature, art, music, film, childhood, and even the No-TAV issue. Mount Musiné is a veritable "Magonia."
