Abstract
This paper compares the onomastic use of newspapers and the case file of a crime committed in Turin in 1930. These sources were the inspiration for two different works by a Turin writer, Guido Ceronetti, who as a child listened to the story told by his mother and as an adult creatively returned to memories, testimonies and archival sources.
