On January 3, 1889, Turin. Friedrich Nietzsche stopped in front of Gate 6 of the Villa Carlo Albert Hotel. His gaze was attracted by a carriage outside the hotel. Not far away, there is a small horse cart parked. The carriage driver encountered a stubborn horse. No matter how the driver shouted, the horse had no intention of moving.

In the end, the coachman lost his patience, picked up the whip and hit the horse. Nietzsche saw this scene, squeezed into the crowd, rushed to the horse, stopped the groom, hugged the horse's neck, and burst into tears. The owner of the hotel arrived and took Nietzsche away. Nietzsche, who returned to the hotel, lay quietly and motionless on the sofa for two days. Afterwards, he whispered a few words. Next came Nietzsche's ten years of mental disorder and mental turmoil, taken care of by his sister and mother.
No one knows what happened in Turin, on that horse, in Nietzsche's mind.
