A marble splitter is dug in order to accommodate 1637 sheets of diary corresponding to the 3274 days ranging from October 23, 2009 to October 10, 2018. The sheets of the diaries are detached from their covers so that inside the marble there are only those days taken into account without any addition. The 10 diaries of the years ranging from 2009 to 2018 are different in size as found on the second-hand market.

The numbers of days and dates span from October 23, 2009, which is both the day after the death of Roman surveyor Stefano Cucchi at the Sandro Pertini Hospital in Rome (he was halted a week earlier by the Carabinieri, the Italian national gendarmerie, in Rome), and the day of the announcement of his death by Italian media – and October 10, 2018. On this latest date, in presence of the Italian Court, one of the agents who was present at the arrest of the Roman surveyor, confirmed the beatings suffered by Mr. Cucchi during his arrest. For 3274 days these were denied by the Italian national gendarmerie and by much of the Italian political world despite being evident from the first day, as they were firmly impressed on the body of Stefano Cucchi.
