Dall'ibristofilia al narcisismo: il fascino del male = From hybristophilia to narcissism: the charm of evil

Two cases of parenticide in Italy, which had a wide echo and which are briefly reported, provide the Authors with the opportunity to describe the phenomenon of hybristophilia, that is the attraction for a criminal as such, and to report what is proposed by the scientific literature on the subject. Both cases were followed by the creation of "fan groups". In the most recent case, the attraction for the parenticide led to the creation of a Facebook group: the Authors analyze 575 messages from this group, elaborate a typology, and draw conclusions about the motivations, the potential dangerousness of the group members, the narcissism underlying the type of communication analyzed.
