Troubles - una storia Irlandese

“The Troubles” refers to the conflict that marked the North of Ireland from the late 1960s to the 1990s — one of the most complex chapters of contemporary European history.

Across ten episodes, the podcast revisits those years through historical reconstruction, testimony and personal memory, restoring nuance to a story often told in simplified terms.

Alongside the major historical events — from Bloody Sunday to the hunger strikes and the peace agreements — the narrative focuses on the human dimension: choices, fear and the intimate consequences of political violence.

The project was conceived, written and produced by Samuele Sciarrillo, in collaboration with Michael Phillips, with historical supervision by Riccardo Michelucci.

 

The narrative universe explored in the podcast continues within the author’s novels and is currently under early-stage cinematic development.​​​​​​
