    The Museo per la Memoria di Ustica in Bologna, Italy, is a somber and thought-provoking memorial dedicated to the victims of the 1980 Ustica air disaster. The museum houses the reconstructed remains of the DC-9 aircraft involved in the tragedy, serving as a powerful centerpiece for reflection. Visitors often comment on the emotional impact of seeing the wreckage and personal belongings of the passengers. The artistic installation by Christian Boltanski, featuring 81 black mirrors and whispering voices, adds a haunting dimension to the experience. While the museum is relatively small, it effectively conveys the gravity of the event and the ongoing quest for truth. Some visitors note that the limited information in English can be a drawback for non-Italian speakers. Despite its heavy subject matter, many find the museum to be an important and moving tribute to the victims and their families.
